September Mountains


I started this painting yesterday, and finished it this morning.  I added a yellow wash to the mountains to brighten the color. Then I added some periwinkle blue areas to the sky, to define the lines of the mountains and to suggest clouds.  Then I added a few touches of pink on the tops of the mountains.  Now I think this is done. This is one of my "Mountain Daydreams," a series of landscapes painted from my imagination but inspired by memories of the mountains of Colorado. This is done with acrylic paint used as water media, on paper, in this case 9" x 12".
