Afternoon Sun--American Landscape Oil Painting

Afternoon sunshine and deep, dark shadows helped to inspire this 8x10 inch oil painting. The other day I squeezed out a pile of my favorite red paint, Napthol Red, and didn't use it all. Since then, I've decided to use it for underpaintings until the pile is gone or dried up, whichever comes first. I love the warmth a red underpainting brings to a landscape--definitely a warm summer color.
