This is a departure from my usual close up and detailed way of doing things . I stepped back to take a wider look and inked this landscape of layered trees & grasses found just outside Bombay Hook.  Bombay Hook is a large wildlife preserve near Smyrna Delaware.  It is home to many types of marshland creatures , water birds , turtles , deer.  I am often struck by the way that nature leaves no part of earth unused , empty.  This is a picture of the beginnings of a forest.  The taller trees rise in the backround, saplings growing forward , towards the sun, away from the parent trees .  They push past young cedar , that grew through the grasses , that crowd the marsh. No place left empty.   In the sky beyond I dotted in the snow geese , circling.   This painting won a ribbon for "Best of Show" at the Dover Art League , May 2004 , in a juried show entitled Delaware Landscapes .   The original sold before the show closed  but limited edition signed and numbered prints are available for $70.00.          The prints only come in one size because of the unusual rectangular shape.  The image itself is 10"x16" , sized to fit nicely in a 16" x 20" frame.                     

          The last landscape did so well I decided to tackle another , a more ambitious one this time.   I like autumn and the sweet smell of corn on cool fall air .  I enjoy the drive between Milford and Rehoboth as it takes me past all the farms and fields.  So I honor the harvest season with this picture of a cornfield as its being cut.   I liked the challenge of maintaining order , as the corn is planted in a grid...yet.. each stalk itself is an individual growing as it may .  I admit I really bogged myself down with time consuming details on this picture but I am pleased with the result.  The last touches were the soft blue corn flowers and black eyed daisies in the forground.   The original is framed in an antiqued gold colored 16" x 20" frame that offsets the yellow corn beautifully. It is available for the price of $1000 .  * UPDATE the original has been sold. *  Limited edition , signed and numbered prints are also available for $70.00.  The Cornfield as well as Bombay Hook ,  only comes in the one size .  The image itself being 10" wide and 16" long.  The unusual rectangular shape combined with such fine details would make a smaller print difficult to appreciate .    I can be reached for comments or questions by email.... artist@ramonamaziarz.com
