Creek and Rocks - SOLD

Creek and Rocks
Oil on Canvas Panel, 11" x 14"
SOLD.

I worked on a dismal painting, put it aside, and then decided to do a paint along.

This is done following a video by Martha Saudek, called Sunlight on Oak Creek. 
I've watched it before, but never painted with it. I think it's a good video for rocks.

I'm happy with the color harmony in this one. The rocks are done with Raw Umber, White and a touch of Dioxazine Purple. Weird sounding color combo, but I like the results.
