Study, Landscape Oil, Cotulla Road to Lake ` 14 x 17

This was a study of a landscape -- to better understand how to paint in oil under Janice Hindes, who is a fan of both John Carlson and Charles Slovek and who studied under Richard Schmid.  I look always for a spiritual narrative it seems, and a road always seems to provide one.

The painting was primarily from a reference picture taken near Cotulla with my compositional additions.
