...and yet another.....

this view is south out the back of our driveway. painted in two settings with wildly different lighting at opposite ends of the day, it has a bit of a schizoid feel to me. in the second sitting i had to try to remember where shadow, etc. had been. all in all i am fairly pleased with the result. every painting out and about en plein air is a learning experience with a very steep curve....i must say i am really liking it. i got a sorely needed umbrella to shade the painting and me. can't wait to use it later this afternoon.

hope you enjoy "casa borrego nos. 26 and 16" (14"X19") on 300# arches cold press paper.

    There is a kind of lighter touch to this work than to your usual ones, maybe less controlled, really like the freedom perceived. And how lucky to live in such glorious surroundings !

    before i lifted some of the pigment in certain areas it appeared a little heavy and dark. now i am pleased with it. surprisingly i am happiest with the mountains and sky! i think i am starting to understand how to get some atmosphere in these things. thanks for the comments, jane.
