Gold Mountains


I have been working on this painting since June 5th, and this is how it looked yesterday (June 8th) when I finished it.  Yesterday I added some gold washes to tone down the green but also to add contrast so that the line of mountains in the foreground would be more distinct.  I also made some changes in the pink highlighting, and added more color to the sky to create contact with the mountains. This painting is part of a series of landscapes that I call "Mountain Daydreams" because I paint them from imagination and memories of the Colorado Rocky Mountains.  These mountain landscapes are created with acrylic paint used as water media on watercolor paper.
