 I wanted to paint this sunset over the snowy mountains, but I'm finding the values quite challenging. The mountains are getting dark, but I want to show the snow so my instinct is to make this a mid value, but I really think it should be darker for better contrast with the sky. I'll let you decide if I was successful or not.

 Today is a day for flowers. Yes, it's December and nothing is blooming here in Raleigh, but a friend sent me a picture from California with these lovely twin blooms. I'm going to have to get a reference book for flowers so I know just what I'm painting, but for right now I'm just painting beauty.
5 x 7 in.  I imagine this landscape to be silent. It's cold, the birds have flown south, and the earth is waiting for warmer days. I was drawn to this reference because it seemed to be off the beaten track. No traffic noise, no human noise; just the silence of nature in the long winter up north.

AuthorI'm an fine art artist in Raleigh, North Carolina. I need a paintbrush in my hand to feel complete and I invite you to follow me on my art journey. Everyday brings new ideas and projects... there simply is not enough time... On December 1, 2012, I joined the community of artists who paint a painting each and every day. I haven't been able to keep up with the daily painting, but I'm trying hard to keep my paintbrushes busy. Archives
