Summer in High Country

Even on a small canvas mountains are

a powerful subject. Their majesty draws you

in and your imagination starts to wander.

However I do wonder if we can ever do them justice

in our painting of them.

This was painted from a photo a couple of evenings ago.

Overall I was pleased with it but...

I don't usually paint after dark as I seem to have

trouble with my old eyes without at least some

natural light. Have to keep fiddling with the lights

and see if I can do more painting after supper.

Oil on canvas 6 x 8.

Comments always appreciated.
