Description
1997
unframed
The ref picture for this painting was taken soon after our time living in Belgium. One of my sons had continued to play ice hockey while we were living there and we became accustomed to hearing his goalie playing position as Gardien. I was coming back from one of his games here in NH when I saw this field in the early evening. The first thing that came to my head is how that dark line of trees looked like a defense line. I emphasized the strength of that line of trees in the composition, thinking how to make them describe what seemed like an impenetrable obstacle for anyone thinking of entering the forest beyond. I was used to using soft pastels and a layered pastel technique. This is an example of how I was experimenting with a la prima techniques with oil pigments and trying different ways to manipulate them.
