Painted in the studio a bit last week. This painting was a commission piece and I had some illustration work to get out so I didn't get a whole lot of field work but hopefully if I can beat the heat this week I will have more field work to show.
The piece above is a 18x24 and it looked huge in my studio and then I took it to the gallery and set it under a massive Roger Brown painting and it looked soooo itty bitty.....

How did you go about painting that? Was it a single photo painted off the projector, like in class? (With memory making up for the camera's limitations, of course!) That's a really gorgeous vista!!
What a masterful handling of greens in this painting. I think this is the last painting I will look at tonight so that its beauty floats around in my brain as I drift off to sleep. Fantastic!
Kevin, are you giving us a lesson in creating beautiful and various greens or an even more important lesson in values?
Doesn't matter that it isn't really big cause it's really, really good.
Lisa - Monitor off my computer with faked in and made up areas here and there. I actually had a 9x12 painting of this view I had done in the spring but the foliage was so different I went with the digital photo mostly.
Claire - thanks for the comment. Hope the dream didn't turn into a green nightmare. Greens can be a bit nightmarish here in Tennessee in July.
Shirley - Thanks for stopping by! And yes you are right, the values are the more important lesson.
Good perspective. I want to ride my mountain bike down that hill.
