I don’t know if it’s finished. It will depend what the colors do as the paint dries.
When I paint, I tend to bring bring what I love closer to me in the painting and make the things I love larger than in real life or laws of perspective allow. When I began this, the mountain was immense, something you’d see in the Cascades, maybe.
And when I finished the painting I saw I’d brought the river closer to the shore than it actually is in real life. Two things I love most here are the mountains and my river. I dealt with the mountain today, but did not move the river. Just imagine I took a few more steps… ❤
Wonderful composition! I do not have the “eye” for photography nor landscapes… it is obvious that you do!
I spend a lot of time out there just looking at it ❤️
Love them.
It’s two stages of the same painting 😊
It is lovely to see how you compose your paintings. I did not notice the mountain in the potentially finished work. I was looking so much at the grasses and river. So it was only when I scrolled down to the next shot that I saw a mountain so of course I then was scrolling up and down. Wonderful location. I like that you create from what you see, your own vision.
The mountain is pretty far away in real life. If I hadn’t moved it back it would have bugged me forever 😀
This is wonderful, Martha!
Thank you. 🙂
