Saguaro Canyon At Dawn
6x12, soft pastel
It was fun to paint an early morning scene in our neighborhood when the landscape was filled with deep blues and purples and the snow was mostly gone. This one actually worked out. I loved the warm tones cast by landscaping lights which is what drew me to this spot. The bare branches of the deciduous trees looked like glowing lavender spires. In some spots I can see greenish grass so I played up the greens in great anticipation of spring. Wishful thinking at this point.
Super piece Cindy. I really like the contrast of cools and warms.
ReplyDeleteYes...that's what really stood out...the lights visually warmed what was otherwise a very cool morning.
