Once again I've been inspired by Northwest fog. The subtle light on the trees in the distance was good practice. I began with a red wash of napthol read, created a dark of alizarin crimson and ultramarine, then grayed it down to several values of lighter gray before painting the distant trees. The painting is 5x7 inches on a gessoed hardboard panel. It was for sale at Small Impressions Paintings on Etsy, but has now SOLD. Some of my other small landscape paintings are still available in the Landscape Section of the gallery. Technorati tags:
