On the easel-Red earth

'Red earth' (3 panels) 8,5" x 28" Oil on canvas


Pencil sketch

Presently on the easel, the painting was inspired by a portion of land outskirt of the city where red earth is excavated to fill-up building (structure)'s foundations in the city.
The two panels at the edges are 8.5" x 9" while the middle one is 8.5" x 10" and the medium is oil on canvas. I have decided to be impressionistic with these and can't just wait to complete it. This is about 2 hours of working. Thanks for viewing.
