TM8289 Stones Learning the Color Green 19×19 oil on panel

I’ve always wondered what stones would say if they could tell us their stories. These stones certainly have a rich history, from beginning as giant mountains to the arrival and retreat of glaciers, to their weathering old age. And what would they say about color? As the moss and lichens cling, do the hard surfaces  develop a fondness for their new raiment? I would.  And the interweaving of greens and grays offers a rich, if subdued, color harmony for painting. Enjoy!
