Cold Wax and Oil Painting....Landscape in Transistion Series

 

The painting on the top is a redo of the bottom painting.  I felt the abstraction on the right side didn't convey the landscape in transition enough and that's what the series is all about.  I also knew the photo of the bottom piece was too intense in color.  The top is  more accurate in the color of the flower. I removed the side strip of color near the flower and added another flower near the top.  Not only are the landscapes in transition, but so are my paintings! 

 

In transition # 4 ( Oil and Cold Wax )

Another oil and cold wax piece.  Again, I was working with the cold wax with the oils and the abstract side reminded me of a field or perhaps a lawn at the end of summer.  We all hate and try to eradicate the Dandylion growing on our lawns, but I stopped to really look at them and saw some amazing colors in their spent blooms. I know we all dislike the puffs that the flower gives off to come back another year but nature is beautiful no matter what stage it is in.

So, the question is should I try and find a title for each piece or should it just be "In transition #?"
What would you do?

Landscape in Transition

This is another attempt with the oil and cold wax showing the landscape in transition.  I haven't titled them yet, perhaps they will just be numbered #1 through where ever it takes me.  The flower was a zinnia and the field was from a farm on Sauvie Island near Portland.  It was a beautiful day early in October on the island and the roads were clogged with families going to corn mazes and buying pumpkins and apple cider.
