Farm Track (Evening Shadows) - landscape in oil

Here's three stages and a close-up of a painting I did yesterday.

Initial under-painting.

Half-way there.

 Detail

This draws on all the experience I've gained doing outdoor sketches in the last couple of years, combined with my love for farm tracks, grasses and trees.

I am really pleased with the way the abstract brush strokes fall together to create a believable scene that I think would be familiar to a lot of Aussies.

The title is temporary. If you have a suggestion for a better one, feel free to let me know in a comment.

UPDATE: I've settled on "Evening Shadows" for the title. A few minor adjustments were made later but I didn't get a photo. Sorry.
