Big Red Mountain


Big Red Mountain

I went to Red Brick this morning to paint. I worked on this painting again, a landscape inspired by the Colorado mountains. Today I used horizontal lines across the top and bottom to break up the vertical format. These lines can suggest the straight lines we see in the landscape: jet trails, roads, fences, lakes. A vertical format is difficult to use for a landscape, but I like it because that's the point of view you get sometimes when you are in the mountains.
