This afternoon it was in the 90's, so I decided to paint at home in the backyard from photographs I had taken. I need to keep practising alpine landscapes because that is where we will be and what we will be painting in September in the workshop.
This painting is almost done. I ran out of light outside. It was one of those wonderful summer nights where you can sit outside and listen to the sounds of night, in shorts and t-shirt, and feel comfortable. Fortunately - no bugs and no mosquitos!!!! Just a lovely night.
This is how I started the painting. The paper is a light green La Carte.

Mhhh, there´s nothing like wild nature, I love how you painted it!
I would like to walk there, it invites me in.
Nice reference photo to work from! How do you like the LaCarte? You will be ready , and you are so lucky. Did I tell you Thaila is doing classes in Minden? She has her work hanging there, also. I have been reading all I can find that McKinnley has written, and also practising--but alas I have a ways to go!!!! Your trees look like trees!! nice work.
Hi, Carolyn!
Your pastel looks more alive than the picture! And it is very bright! I really love your picture, mountains away - just wonderful! When I look at them as if I there walking. There's trees and rocky slopes. Incredible!!! :-))))
