Blustery Day

9X12 oil on canvas covered museum

I painted this blustery winter day two years ago but wanted to rework a few areas.  The original painting had too strong a horizontal line that pulled the viewer off the painting on both sides.  I also played with the sky adding a new color to me, Caribbean Blue by Old Holland.  Dreama Tolle Perry introduced me to that lovely dark transparent warm blue.

6x8 oil on museum board

Not today, but I stood in this area and painted plein air a few Septembers ago.  Painting this scene outdoors was very difficult because the desert seemed forbidding and harsh.  In reality it is, because plants must survive drought, wind, and heat.  The beauty was in the mountains.

So back in the studio, I let the painting rest...yes, for two years.  Today I painted the Little Gem, working from the larger plein air painting and a photograph but just for a while.  Then I turned to my imagination and just painted.
