Landscape in Germany

Another beautiful Country, done in oil

Super palette. There was a California Impressionist the earlier part of the 20th century (I think that time's about right) who painted a bit like this -- juicy paint strokes and lively color like this. Wish I could recall his name. Your colors are a wee bit more saturated than his, but that's not at all a bad thing.

I think you discovered some time back the Spanish painter William Sorolla because he was a predecessor of Pino. There was a later phase in his life where he painted Victorian style women in flowing white dresses on the beach with kids. It was at that time he got away from the conservative classical colors and went much more saturated and freer with his strokes. Anyway, this painting, aside from it being a landscape, is in that direction.

Loving your paintings more and more as you know what you're about as an artist. Go Pat!

Pat, D Akey said it all, what wonderful work you are doing, just shows the best way to become a successful painter is to paint and paint... which you have done as an
inspiration to all of us...
