3 Horses in a Field - miniature landscape by New York Artist Gretchen Kelly

5.5"x7.5" watercolor, gouache, graphite on Stonehenge paper
Same spot as the previous 2 days paintings. It's amazing how some locations have magic.
This is the littlest plot of land where the horses graze and there is so much sky, so much form to the lay of the land and the way light hits it at different times and different seasons. I did a painting several years ago of an enchanted white hors in the summer in the field of daisies that cover the fields in June. I'll post it tomorrow.
Sold to a collector in Hudson, NY.

Dark Barn up the Hill - miniature landscape by New York Artist Gretchen Kelly

5.5"x7.5" watercolor, gouache, graphite on Stonehenge paper

Inspired by recent photos taken nearby, where I live in Columbia County, I have been painting on Stonehenge paper, craft color. It is perfect to portray the neutral colors on the Hudson Valley farmlands that surround me. This painting is the second one in the series of this particular site on Church St. leading up to the dark barn where the horses live.
