AFTERNOON (palette)

Afternoon Palette
8 x 6

A small painting, working out the palette for a larger work.  Composition problems and color relationships become clearer in this small format.

ACROSS THE RIVER (palette)

Across the River (Palette)
8 x 6

A little 8 x 6, painted in the studio to study the color harmonies for a larger painting.  The reference photo is from Sunriver, an area I love to visit and paint.  I changed the shapes considerably from the photo to this composition.  This is easiest for me to do in the studio, with just a little detachment from the immediacy of the landscape.
