"Strawberries"


A 20 miniute drive away from my house is the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. There are a few working farms there. These three buildings are part of a park sevices center.

"Three Apples"


Painted plein air, at Zsalays Farm, this landscape avoids the "too much green" problem.
It was a hot hazy day. The distant trees are blue green. Atmospheric perspective causes distant objects to be out of focus, low contrast, and blend in with the atmosphere: blue sky. The apples and wooden window niche were added in the studio.
