This is an original plein air oil landscape by me, L Haas, painted on a 8 x 6 unframed linen panel and signed. I painted this after spending a quiet morning out in Smith Valley, where the open ranch land and distant hills seemed to hold their own slow rhythm under soft light. The land isn’t dramatic — just steady and open — and that’s what I responded to with the brush, letting shapes and color unfold in simple layers rather than exact detail.

In Smith Valley Ranch, gentle tones and quiet transitions reflect how the valley felt that day: muted earth against sky, light shifting softly over grass and open space. It’s a moment of landscape that invites a pause, a chance to notice subtle shifts of color and atmosphere.

This piece fits naturally with other works in the Quiet Places & Journeys series or on its own in a space where a thoughtful landscape feels right. See less
