Thank you Randy. The water is fun to paint and the goal on the horizon was to get the essence of the great distance I was seeing. Hope you have fun when you come out to Colorado next month!

Very good job! Nice greens through out. My favorite part is how you handled the distant horizon and your water, sweet. I agree with the three “P’s” you named.

Thanks Liz. I did watch the Christensen DVD over the weekend. I liked it because it showed a lot of color mixing on the palette and his basic approach to plein air studies. You can tell he has a lot of experience outdoors because once the paint was down, there was very little correcting going on. I keep telling myself patience, practice and persistence!

Thank you Tracy. I appreciate your encouragement!

This is gorgeous, Lee. I love the snaking river, and the changes that you made to create more depth. A lovely visual journey.
Have you watched the Christensen DVD yet?
