Original Oil Painting Evening Light


Evening Light

12" x 12"
Painted on gessobord.

Here is another landscape painting where I am trying to capture an evening sunset. I decided on a red-orange to be the color of the light as it sets. It is reflected in the snow mountain tops, tree tops, leaves, clouds, water, etc. I posted Christine Huard-Adams' reference photo below.


Thanks Christine for the awesome photo!

Original Oil Painting Rock'n Gondolas

14" x 18"
Painted on gessobord. 
 
This is a painting I made for my weekly painting class. It was the hardest one so far. I gave the background a white glaze to push it back to create depth in the atmosphere. When I painted the poles I tried to hint at a little back lighting so if you look close you will see colors on the edges where the sun is passing by. I spent a lot of time on the water. It seems to me that the water plays a big part as the boats do.  I love painting water and with all the reflective colors it was a blast! The poles were the hardest because if I messed up then I had to touch up the water or on one pole the sky. I hope you enjoying looking at my painting, a lot of work and time went into it but I feel every minute was worth it.
