"Arizona Sunset" Desert Landscape Oil Painting by Arizona Artist Mary Opat
"Arizona Sunset" Desert Landscape Oil Painting by
Arizona Artist Mary Opat
18" x 14" Oil on Stretched Linen
I finished this one today. I started it a few months ago and got
stuck on how to make the foreground and tree look more natural. The
trick was to pick up some very dark paint and then scrub it in with the side
of my brush. A little lighter green scrubbed in here and there over the front
bushes seemed to do it. Who knew ? Maybe I'll take on more landscapes!

"Plein-Air Study" Contemporary Landscape and Figurative Oil Paintings by Arizona Artist Mary Opat
10" x 10" Original Oil Painting
This is a study I painted in the gardens at East Side Gallery on
April 21st. It was a wonderful relaxing day with
good friends surrounded by nature. I tried to
capture the colors and textures of the plants in the
foreground and decided to accentuate the sculptural quality
by eliminating the plants in the background. You can check
out more of my work by clicking on the following link:
