Hiding the Subject(s) in the Landscape

9" x 12" oil on masonite, framed

Owen requested a painting that had a guitar in it. But it's summer (or it WAS summer) and summer was Landscape Season, so that's the palette I was into at the time.

I would have liked to have painted this from one of my own plein air sketches, but I wasn't finding any guitars in the local landscape. In the end, I scrambled together references to work a couple of guitars into this fantasy summer scene. Happy Birthday, Owen!.
