This 20″x 24 ” in size with out a frame but it will have a frame on it. The medium is acrylic.
I think this painting is leading me further into experimenting with over-life sized portrait compositions in their own psychological stance.

Here you see my mother-in-law who is standing on a pile of stone posts looking out at a nearby field. In this field, my husband is under the combine repairing a mechanical problem and my father-in-law is waiting anxiously. This is a 3’ x 4’ canvas and she is life-size.
My mother-in-law had dinner ready and they were late. This is why it is titled “Late for Dinner.”
I was in the field with the men when they had a breakdown earlier in the day and I shot photos. I was in the farmyard and watched my mother-in-law climb up on these rocks. When they finally showed up for dinner, she found out they had another breakdown.
This is two scenes painted on one 18” x 36” canvas depicting the stages of growing wheat. The left side shows a scene from just north of McPherson, Kansas with the wheat lying dormant under a blanket of snow and an idle irrigation system. The right is a scene from my brother-in-law’s wheat field. I followed this cutting screw from one field to another.
I was fascinated with the play of light from very bright to dark because of the curves and sharp edges of the machinery. I used color schemes of blue-green and red and green to capture this lighting.
