This started out as a floral painting, but I changed it to one based on a snake river photo I took on the way back from Boise last summer. I was less than thrilled with the way the preliminary of the floral was going, so I threw it in a virtual “circular file” and re-gessoed the canvas to start over.
At 8X8 it is small, so there is a lot of vista to capture. The picture was taken from the top of a bridge overlook and the view below me seemed endless. I have never tried a landscape with so much in it, so it will be challenging. So far I like it, but it is definitely better if you stand a bit back and let the colors and features blend.
