This tiny little painting feels slightly voyeuristic because it seemed like I was looking through a window to another time. It’s small, it’s quaint, and it’s so hometown USA.
I was inspired to paint “On Top” was because of the elegant design quality of its composition, especially the strong line between the upper and lower half of the painting and how the road leads up to the farmhouse nestled in the trees. I loved how the warm green stripe in the middle contrasted against the cool green foreground, which reflected more of the light blue of the sky.
