Haze Into the Hills

A focus on the warmth and coolness of the masses was needed to build the feeling of the hills receding into the distance.  To maintain the feeling the haze created I did not create big differences in the values between the hills.  

There is much talk about the strength of harmony in color created by the use of a limited pallet.  In this painting, I used less colors than usual.  It was because the haze flattened out the number of colors.  I like the complexity of color.  
The harmony of color came easily without thought or effort.  Virtually ever color choice was able to stand without change.
