Storm Coming Over Pink Mountains (As of November 9, 2014)


I started this painting today, using acrylics as water media paint on paper. I am painting this landscape from imagination, drawing from memories of the Rocky Mountains in my home state of Colorado. This is a small painting (9 x 12 inches). I started this painting with the line of the bright pink mountains. The decision to add the long diagonal in the sky was influenced by a shadow falling on the paper. I liked the shape the shadow made, and It made me think of the sharp line of an approaching storm front. I got a lot done today, but this is still a work in progress.
