I’m dreaming of summer hikes in the beautiful foothills of the Canadian Rockies. This painting is about that feeling – cool, clean, clear air, sunshine, and good old fashioned walking. We’re still buried under the unmentionable white stuff here and YEARNING for warmer days!
This was painted in a direct fashion… sketched in with a mix of Golden paints Crimson and Quinacridone Gold, then a first layer to block in the sky, mountains, tree band, and path. After that was dry I went back in and defined some individual trees, added opaque highlights on some trees, and built up the rocks. Fun!

I really like the brush strokes of the pine trees and the array of colors of the rocks. Good job.
