This painting was painted outdoors on the top of a mountain looking out across the shenandoah valley. The sun was really strong and the trees and hills and valley all merged into one flat nothing. I painted color, and texture and overlapping shapes and gave it my best shot.

those trees…only those who have ever sat down and tried to create a tree using watercolor paint truly understand how remarkable those strokes are.
can’t believe it’s 88 already.
Are you using cadmium orange? I use it sparingly, but enjoy it’s brilliance.
Great brushstrokes as usual!
actually Mike I am using halloween from American Journey, I would prefer a more transparent orange always to the opacity of cadmium orange. I also like transparent orange from Daniel Smith.
You’ve really captured the light and shapes of Virginia on the cusp between spring and summer!
Okay, I think it’s about time to consider 365 paintings in 365 days! 😉
Kate, We will see what happens tomorrow, I will come up with something to keep the ball rolling.
