Red Hills Day 2


Red Hills Day 2

This acrylic watermedia painting is a work in progress, inspired by my recent trip to Colorado. This is how it looked at the end of my second painting session. I added pink washes to the foreground to tone down the green, and also added some pink to the sky. The color is not realistic (I am working from memory and imagination), but the Colorado mountains really can look pink at certain times of the day. And when the sun rises and sets, it sometimes glows red in the sky.
