Blue Trees in the Middle Distance@8" x 5"
Pastel
Casey Klahn
Because these latest works do diverge from my New School Color style a little, I am creating a catch phrase for them. So far, I am want to say, "I'm doing landscapes, now". Don't worry, though, the colorist pieces are still being created in my studio.
One thing I discovered recently is that the less detail I give to these distant and middle distant trees, the better I like the painting. Shapes! Color notes! That's the thing.
Via Katherine, and then Robert Genn, comes this quote by Clive Bell:

"Detail is the heart of realism, and the fatty degeneration of art."
