Home and Dry - stage 1

 


The next one in my "Home Land" series this one is based on a sky I took a photo of on my recent trip round the National Parks of the South West in the USA. The setting for this though is somewhere like Montana. I am going for some quite rich colours after the heavily desaturated last one. I stopped here purely because of the paint not being dry for a tonal overpaint and is not an indication that it is a snow landscape. I will finish this tomorrow. This is the tonal underpainting stage using my usual mix of Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple thinned with Liquin and applied with a brush and rag.

I think I have done enough isolated farmhouses now so after this one I will be looking for something different for the series.

Oil on canvas 31 1/2" x 12".
