Landscape changes

I have made some changes to this painting. I removed the line of trees, which was a distraction and provided too much contrast and replaced them with a softer background to better harmonize with the rest of the painting. I may make a few minor changes and will then post this new painting on Etsy.

Work in Progress

I am working on a new Western Landscape. The basic composition is roughed in first and light and dark areas added. in the top photograph some underpainting is indicated. I will post more on this landscape later.

New Landscape

I am working on a new landscape and posting progress as it comes together. In the lower image I am concentrating on the lights and darks and establishing a color theme. In the middle image I have detailed more of the rock formation and added some highlights in the grass. The top image
has more detail and I have slightly darkened the foreground. This painting will be finished in a few days and will be listed in my Etsy shop.

Canyonland

This new original painting of the Grand Canyon is inspired by a trip to the Arizona and Utah areas of the Southwest. Cool purple, red, and blue in the background and warm yellow and green in the foreground help suggest the perspective of this vast area. This painting is available in my Etsy shop.
