Spring Green and Telephone Poles

Spring Green and Telephone Poles

This painting was an exercise in injecting non-greens in a scene that looked "all green."  The tree line to the left was in shadow and the tree line to the right was brightly it.   The telephone poles that marched down the middle were a good way to lead to the muted distant treeline.  The sky was gorgeous cerulean with puffy cottonball clouds.  

When there is as much green as in this scene, it is worth analyzing what variants of green are there.   Blue-green, gold-green are present in the foreground.   Pink-green and gray green are visible in the distance.    The telephone poles march in from the left.   It's nice to be out painting in perfect weather!
