Falls At Yellowstone
8x6in oil on canvas panel $135. SOLD
Continuing the water series.
This one is a more intimate
view of a shorter set of
falls.
I went less abstract in this one
because I painted it from
memory and
I remembered
every beautiful area..
Artist Note.
I was asked how
I can paint from memory.
Here goes.
Before I start to paint from
memory
I sit quietly and recall
a place until I see it clearly
in my mind.
I NOTICE THE
QUALITY OF LIGHT FIRST
and jot it down.
Next I try to pull up the
sounds - hear the rushing water,
birds singing, if there was a breeze etc.
This gets me totally in the mood.
When I feel I am "back in time"
I pick
up my knife and mix
the basic colors first.
I establish the harmony on the
palette, placing the spots of color
next to each other...
and if it jives with my inner vision...
then off I go!
(Hope this helped Mr. Franklin)
Again, all done with the palette knife
