Remembering Bunker~ Into The Field
Into The Field, oil painting by Melody Phaneuf
~
Today’s Featured Painting, Into the Field, is one of my favorites included in the 12 Days of Christmas offering. As a student, I copied paintings at the Museum of Fine Arts. I was attracted by the work of Dennis Miller Bunker and copied his field paintings. Analyzing and emulating his technique of applying paint in separate brushstrokes illuminated my concept of color.
Painting Into The Field brought me back to the passion of discovery. The variations of color in the grasses and contrasting textures offered the opportunity to embrace the color and technique that I learned from Bunker.
Into The Field, 10 x 8 oil painting by Melody Phaneuf, is the Featured Painting offered at $315 for December 7, 2010
