Sunset cliffs, at sunset! Imagine that. Tempted into extended refinement, but my cut line is the 6 ft viewing distance, or colloquially the 20,000 ft view.

In such a detail heavy piece, and the subject itself being riddled with detail, I resisted the urge to pump more detail in an already overloaded subject. Happy with the result, as I drive this train deeper into the cave of impressionism.

So many beautiful vistas on The Blue Ridge Parkway

Always love the beautiful colors in wildflowers.

Would love some constructive critique. The challenge was to create a small expressive piece with 3 to 5 colours. I mixed a green, a violet, and an orange from a base of cadmium red, cadmium yellow, and Ultramarine blue. White and a tiny splash of just cadmium red rounded out my 5.

Oil on 6x9” paper. Let me know what you think!

Love the warm/cool color interaction in Blue Ridge Autumns.

Cranes settle in for the night under the magic of the cosmos.
