Another car painting on the way home from the city. I was attracted to the contrast of warm foreground and cool background. I found I really had to keep lightening/cooling the values to get the background pushed back enough, and I concentrated on diminishing size of brushwork to create depth in the field.

I really pushed the color on this one. It was a super flat, gray day with very brief windows of light. The real world wasn't inspiring me, so I made up my own world. (Fun!)
Wow, put these two with the last two and what a spectrum of warm and cool, and bright and gray. I like them all! "Last Snow of Winter" is particularly grabbing me. You really did a great job of pushing back the background and the middle ground trees are beautifully done, deliberate and just enough there. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThese are both beautiful! You really know how to convey the atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful paintings! Nice contrasts of the warm/cool colors. Well done!
ReplyDeleteNice one Liz...sometimes reality must be put on hold!!

Indeed Jeffrey. As my mother used to say: “Never let the truth ruin a good story”.
ReplyDeleteSuch good work - and wonder how you keep your car clean - do you work with the boot up, standing outside?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Liz. I especially like the warm peach tones above the mountains in the second piece. Both have such a great balance of temperature and values. Fantastic work!
