I thought I would post a few photos of a painting that recently sold.. it took me a long time and many many revisions. Mainly it took so long because I was not used to mixing so many greens .. a color I rarely used in my landscapes and actually avoided. So I decided to face my fears and do a green painting.
This is an impression of one of the sheep camps you might find on the Awapa Plateau in central Utah. It is a vast upland region close to Capitol Reef NP.. high meadows and scattered stands of trees. The winds can be fierce. You will not see any tourists up there.. maybe a modern day cowboy or a 4x4 adventurer. Being above 8000'.. it's a great place in the summer when it's hot down below.. great camping.. and vey beautiful.
And a later stage .. not as green as the finished piece:
