Winter Creek Sunset 3 - SOLD

Winter Creek Sunset 3 Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD at $50.00 plus shipping. I actually like doing the same painting over three times in a row. By the third one, you've figured out the "order" of painting. Trunks first, to preserve the darks, then background foliage, then foreground and water, and last, sky and details. So you can then think about what you want to change, or the flavor of the piece. I was going for more "mystery" in this one, although I'm not sure it turned out that way. More calligraphic brushwork too, in the foreground, which I like (yes, my Escoda brush again.) And I let myself have more red and orange this time. We'll see if the collector likes it.
