From Brush Canyon

This is the first time painting a diptych for me.  I had waited a couple of years before painting this scene because I did not think I was ready.  Every six months or so I would run across the reference photo and think about it.

With this quick under painting I quickly established the warmth in the foreground, the overall shapes, and the composition.  I used a wash as a under painting because I wanted to have an interplay between contrasting colors and contrasting temperatures.
