Purple Azaleas at Big Bend was painted on a canvas panel that measures 11"x 14". I thought the purples were stunning against the big rocky mountain. It has painterly strokes and no frame.

I
did this painting while at Big Bend National Park. Came home and did
not like it and revisited the painting. I do like the brighter and
bolder colors in this one. I embellished what I saw.

Jimmy Longacre_subjective realist landscape paintings_SANTA ELENA CANYON REVISITED
Two years have passed since I last painted Santa Elena Canyon in Big Bend National Park. I stood on the exact same spot where I had stood before. The new version was much more successful than the first, and I wondered why.
Here are my thoughts. First, and foremost, I realized that rather than being lost in the overwhelming detail of the rocks, water and foliage, my attention was to the "big picture". My approach was to design the several big shapes, the shadow shape, the river shape, the cliff wall shapes and the sky. This made everything easier to manage than my first attempt, and much more satisfying. Next, I clearly knew what was my subject this time. I was caught by the beautiful color/temperature relationships, mainly within the shadow area. For me, this painting was about the shadow story, and everything else was carefully made to support that intent. Finally, I was intentionally putting a lot of paint down and trying to keep the brushwork simple and meaningful. I realize these are a few of the things that have developed in my painting approach over months of regularly painting and seeking through experimentation to solve the things that frustrate obtaining the results I passionately want to achieve.

Clearing Skies by David Forks
Clearing Skies by David ForksOil on panel, 16"x20"
Another scene from Big Bend National Park. I tend to gravitate to the west and Big Bend National Park is one of my favorite places. My style is fairly impressionistic and I don't tend to paint much detail but I love the suggestion of it. I tried to add a lot of variation within my shadows in this piece.

I tend to keep my color in reserve and favor the subdued rather than exaggerated. Sometimes I will paint outside my own box just to stimulate my senses and awareness. This piece is a prime example of the strength being the reserve with a limited color range.
