Not sure why, Don, but I can't stop looking at that most distant hill. That value is just right! It snowed up here in Moscow yesterday...did you guys get by un-scathed?
Really great job. You really handled the flowers well. It goes way back.
Are these plein air Don or studio? You have such a loose, confident stroke sometimes it is hard to tell.
Hi Zack,
Thanks for stopping in and commenting. Wasn't that crazy? It snowed hard here too--looked like winter again. Melted off in the valley but the mountains are still white.
Frank, good to hear from you--thanks for the nice comments. These paintings are studio works from photos. I try to work them as if I were painting plein air, so if it is hard to tell the difference I am very pleased. While working I try to imagine that the light is changing and I must be rapid and direct.
I've been enjoying your fishing boats, etc. Are you back in Mexico now?
Yes Don, back in Mexico. Seasons have changed here and now everything is wet and green.
Hi Don,
I came just came across your blog. your landscapes are beautiful! I love the colors. I'm from the northwest too-Idaho. I just painted a close up of arrowleaf balsamroot and was surprised to find someone else painting it.
