Oh my I should had not started looking at art on the web because before I knew it I was itching to paint. Before sanity and reserve kicked in, I was painting, too late! I am going to do a short post with the newest painting. I am not sure if it is done, I am open for suggestions.
I didn’t realized until after I took several photos, there is a wet spot in the back mountains…..disregard that.
Truthfully my only learning point today is not to look at art while resting and hoping to refrain from doing art. Ha! Oh I just thought of one!
- Learn when the white of the paper is more brilliant than a light glowing color such as yellow or gold.
It looks wonderful!

Oh this is splendid Margaret – I especially love how you handled the distant trees. And the light on the trees on the left hand side – pure magic! If I were you I would leave it. If I were me, I’d keep faffing and possibly ruin it’s freshness!

I agree 🙂 now that I have looked at it again….there is a glow that didn’t quite translate over to the photo and if you can imagine…..glowing just perfectly.

I’m impressed at how you always capture what’s in the photo yet do it in your own artistic way. It’s very lovely, Margaret. I don’t think it needs anything more. It’s beautiful as it is.

I don’t know actually, I just get in there and do it, I don’t fret or fiddle, and I take breaks and “go with it”. I guess I should had put some of that in my leaning points. I did feel tired afterwards, though my eyes are getting better, thank goodness! Thank you Laura for such wonderful comments and such a shining review. 🙂 it warms my heart. I do LOVE wc! love….love…..love! lol

Pulling a bit more colour into the foreground has helped. I have been looking at the work Nita Engle recently. Have you seen her wilderness paintings?
