Hello, Watchers! This painting represents for me a breakthrough process. I am excited and thrilled actually at how this one came together!
I painted it on my lunch hour today from a scene I saw hours earlier on the
way to work this early morning. No reference photo. It makes me very
happy to have created from my mind's eye, memory only! A very freeing
process...
In real life, the blues of the trees of this painting are much richer and the orange is lighter, calmer, and not so contrasty--the orange knows its place in the real painting.
I am using Picasa to edit these OPs and am about ready to decide to keep this new computer. When I decide for certain, I will move my Photoshop Elements license to this computer and then hopefully do a better job of photo-editing.
Anyhow, thanks for being here to hear about my breakthrough...and to all my artist friends, Happy Painting!

Wow, this is sooooo beautiful.
Hey, thanks, Jerry!!!
Beautiful light in this Meredith. First light(when I am up to catch it) and last light are my favorite moments.
As I scrolled down the photo of the painting I thought, I love the trees, and then I read the post. Great job.
Thanks, Bhavani! First light is amazing, and I am up to see it every day :-)
Thanks, Sharon! Watchers, I am entertained lately by Sharon's telling me her thoughts upon scrolling through posts!!
This is wonderful, you painted not just a memory and location, you painted a concept. Great work!
