This image today was one that I have always liked.
Traveling through Southern Spain by car alone many years ago, it was a wonderful trip of spontaneity and creativity as I had no timeline, no task ahead of me, just a general goal of direction and the finality of a return air ticket home ahead of me. Along the way, my route varied due to the landscape and traffic and I found many intriguing and surprising spots of interest..This sudden beautiful roadside view was one of them and I was compelled to stop and make a photograph of this olive grove grounded by a field of poppies.
Over the years I have liked it more and more and had once started to reproduce this as a painting (a skill I wished I possessed in a greater amount than I do) but as of this date, have never completed it. The style I wished to emulate in this work is of Georges Seurat, for the spots of color within the flowers are like dots on the canvas. Maybe this year, I will find the time for it, maybe not, but is still remains a dream for me to do so. If I ever do, I will be sure to post it for you as well. I hope you enjoy it.
