Painting a panoramic landscape is always exciting. A panoramic is a wide view of the surrounding landscape. It draws the viewer in and gives you a more descriptive feel for the landscape. Plus, it is simply a larger landscape painting, but not always.
The subject here was inspired from past hikes on the Brattleboro Retreat property. There is an upper field with a wide open space and often dramatic skies. You can get lost in this landscape which humbles you, yet broadens your perspective.
I like painting these because I can use one of my larger brushes. It is a great situation for letting pigment mix on the paper by dropping in color in certain areas.
