acrylic on canvas paper, 12" x 12"
This is a study of a scene I pass by often while walking my dog along the Lynch Creek Trail in eastern Petaluma. It is a study of the particular light that hits these hills at dusk, creating beautiful grays, with an intense strip of sun glow at the top of the hills. I had a difficult time getting the values that I wanted, mostly because I was using ivory black in my color mixes to dull the colors down a bit, which tends to darken as it dries. If I paint this scene again, I will do it in oil, not acrylic. That'll solve that problem!
