The theme of the last few weeks is August light. The angle of the sun is slanting more and more. The shadows are longer and more dramatic. I look for that in every scene.
The high horizon line in this painting allows the land to dominate. The light on the hill and the road are the "stars" in this painting, created by the shadows.
Values play a big part in the focal point of this painting as does the spot of red on the house. The foreground tree stops the eye as other lines lead to the house on the hill.
Most of the colors in this painting are grayed or "broken" so that they are grayed. That allows the light areas to shine in their more pure states.
Values, colors, lines.
