WDEApr13Mountains

Well...really struggling today. Got a new digital camera, and I'm having trouble getting the hang of it, so the photo isn't so hot...glare, dark...you name it.

Painting didn't turn out quite the way I planned, but here it is at 2 hours. Oil on paper, about 8 X 10.

Re: WDEApr13Mountains

Interesting how removing the foreground trees adds to the atmospheric effect- I can feel those mountain breezes way up there!

Very evocative of the loneliness in such places. Sad and beautiful atmosphere.
