This is the painting I have been working on. This is inspired by a photo that I took back in June in Colorado. (My photo reference is posted here on Nov. 5th.) I didn't have a chance to paint until late in the day, almost dark. I didn't want to risk playing with the colors, but I did want to revise the shapes of those distant peaks. So I used white and white mixed with some cobalt blue (the same colors I have been using in that area). Referring to the photo, I made more adjustments to the shapes of those peaks, and used a wide brush to lay in strokes for the snow, going for a "rockier" texture. Then I photographed this in artificial light, so the color is definitely off in this picture. But I think the shapes of the snowy peaks are a bit better. To be continued. . . .
