Detail, psalm 182

October

O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow’s wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all…

Robert Frost

This image is a detail of a work in progress, still wet on the easel. I painted this en plein air last week with fury at the inadequacy of the palette in my hands. It is an experiment in flinging pure color at the canvas and mixing it on the surface.
You must view it for at least 2 minutes before the color, values and composition pull themselves together. Otherwise your brain can’t take in the storm and fury. Now imagine it at 4 times the size of your monitor.
Here is a link to the completed work psalm 182. To see more complete paintings go to RVJart.com

    Beautiful work Roger! Age has “ripened” the artistry within our lives. The binds of youthful years endure our bond even though the miles and time keep us astray, yet we are enriched and come away more grateful for the occasions that we have to reunite. Hope to see you and Nancy soon!

    Beautiful work of art, Roger, and perfect complement to the wonderful poem. Thanks for sharing with Fall-deprived Floridians… Ginger

    Fury? Our Roger? For me the longer I viewed this painting the more details I discovered in what I first thought to be an un-detailed painting. Bravo sir.

    It’s BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Maybe you should do a series rather than changing this at all. Sheila
