Welcome back!
This week I will continue with the painting of the New Mexico Zuni Mesa seen in the photo below. Once again, although the photo is not my own, I have been to the site many times in my travels.
When we finished last time the painting appeared as depicted in the photo immediately below.
Last week I inicated that the foreground would receive attention next. Well, I did actually apply some paint to the foreground but most of my efforts were directed elsewhere.
I changed the colors on the butte’s highlights (twice) since last week. Of course I just had to change the cloud above. I am very pleased with the cloud which is somewhat darker and moodier. I may change the butte again, I’m not sure now. I would like to bring the cloud up to the quality level of the cloud. Hmm, the former mediocrity of the cloud set a much lower bar.
The painting’s current appearance is seen below.
I will continue with the foregroud (and maybe the butte) next week. See you then.
