Heading into this new year I am continuing with these small landscape studies. This painting is inspired by a view looking up toward Thunder Hill on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It's a spot where, if you hike to the top, you are rewarded with a nearly 360 degree view of the mountains. I liked the direction of the path in this scene, as it appears and then disappears over the rise of the hill. which seemed to make it a good metaphor for the start of a new year.
Really love it, especially the shapes the path creates. I hope you have a wonderful year!
ReplyDeletevery nice study :) Do you freehand these or have some lines to go by?
ReplyDeleteThank you Celia! I hope your new year is wonderful as well!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jennifer! Nope, I go straight in with paint on these, using light washes at first then building up the darker values.
