Dappled, Great Falls - SOLD


Dappled, Great Falls
Acrylic on Canvas Panel, 9' x 12"
SOLD at $20 plus $7 shipping.

I was thinking of something like this for our Landscape painting on Wednesday at Michael's, but I'm wondering now if it won't be too hard for my students. Maybe with a careful roadmap... meanwhile, acrylics are wonderful for layering. You can keep adding and changing all day long.

Looking up our back yard hill to the townhouses on the upper level. I have to admit I was more or less blasted by the brightness outdoors today. There could have been more subtle midtones here.
