Have you mentioned previously why you chose the 6 x 8 size of canvas? <br /><br />Liz, a lady in Tucson gave me a bar of Fels-Naptha soap and it takes oil paint out of absolutely everything even when it is dry.

Enjoy seeing your area thru your eyes. Also like to read about the tools or techniques you used to achieve your goals. Love these paintings and especially the ones showing distance that are done via warm against cool. Continued succes to you.

Gorgeous white capped mountains and purple and blue sky, even on the larger version I'm not sure how you did it. And the simple wash background is so effective on "Bow River Shoreline".
