April Snow, North of Boulder (Painting as of September 23, 2023)

Here is my painting as it looked at the end of the day on September 23rd.  I began painting into the shapes I had built up with pasted paper the previous day.  I painted the sun pink, and used some orange washes over the pink paper to echo the orange in the foreground. With my reference photo as a guide, I applied blue-green paint over the pasted paper.  I painted into  the hillside and the foreground, trying to capture some of the textures and colors suggested in the reference photo.  To be continued. . . .
