At 8000 feet snow stays way past spring time. The warmth in the sun is deceptive.I decided I liked this composition. I was in the shade and it took two hours to paint it because I had to take breaks and warm up in the sunshine every time my hands got too cold to hold a brush. Gloves, you say. Gloves! I don't need no stinkin' gloves.
I love the pinkish freshness of this painting, as it appears on the computer,anyway. You've portrayed the icy brightness of the landscape so well.
ReplyDeleteI live in Estes Park so know the landscape and enjoy your portrayal.
Vickie,
ReplyDeleteI underpainted the canvas in red, giving it a pinkish undertone.
