Overcast

Overcast

8x6in  oil on canvas panel  100.

What a difference in ambiance when the sun is not shining.
The stream was rushing along due to springtime melting snow.
A heavy mist was settled into the atmosphere creating
a very tonal painting. After the brightness of what I had been
painting, it felt more like England than New Mexico.

Artist Note.

This is all about subtle value changes so I kept my colors
on the palette in a circular pool so it was easier to compare
the gradations...step by step up or down in value.
I let my palette do the work!
