Today I finally satisfied my need to paint something a little larger and work on canvas. This 16x20 inch oil painting was created from the Wetcanvas April Landscape Challenge. What I liked about the reference source for this painting was the movement created by the lines of the sunshine and shadows on the undulating hills. I used a palette of Naples Yellow, Cadmium Yellow, Cadmium Yellow Light, Cadmium Lemon Yellow, Sap Green, Ultramarine Blue, and just a touch of Cadmium Orange in the foreground wildflowers. Contact me if you are interested in purchasing this painting. Technorati tags:

I absolutely LOVE the shadows. There's something kind of unexpected about them, but it totally works. Nice work!
Nancy, I just stumbled upon your blog and I love your work! I am just starting out myself as an artist, so I am definitely learning a lot from your work and the way you market it on your blog. Excellent work, I will definitely keep an eye on you!
