Scarlet Mountain (As of July 8, 2017)


Here is my painting-in-progress as it looks now.  This painting is part of my "Mountain Daydreams" series, landscapes painted from my imagination and my memories of the mountains of my home state, Colorado.  These are all painted with acrylic paints used with water.  Today I added a third layer of translucent white to the sky, and added a bit of red-violet to the sun.  So now I think that is it for the sky.  I also added some red-violet to the mountains, at the base and at the very top.  Tomorrow I plan to add one more layer of cadmium red to the mountain, and I think that will be it.  So almost there. . . .
