Sunrise on Pike's Peak (Painting as of January 12, 2022)

 

Here's my painting (Sunrise on Pike's Peak) as it looked on January 12, 2022.  I applied more layers of blue and purple tissue paper to the foreground, and then painted into it to emphasize the shapes I wanted.  I also worked on some of the shapes in the second row of mountains.  Still a ways to go! This painting was inspired by an early morning view from my friends' spare bedroom on a visit to Colorado in 2005.  I took a photo even though it was hard to see the mountains behind the trees. The original photo is posted here January 17th and  the painting reference I created by digitally altering the photo is posted here here January 18.
