"Studio View" 11"x14" oil on canvas

"Studio View" original painting, 11"x14" oil on canvas
copyright Raette Meredith 2011

I finished this painting on Tuesday, Dec 13, 2011.
This small painting is perfect for small spaces. It is an oil painting on stretched canvas.
The view is from the studio during the morning hours.
The way the light hits the grass between the towering oaks is sublime, and I just had to paint it.
"Studio View" is SOLD

I'm learning a TON while painting in oils, and I have to say, I love it, even though it takes forever to dry, it is well worth the wait!!! I see many more oil portraits in the future!!!
