More Organ Rock monocline - landscape painting, oil

Next in the Road Trip series, spread out over two sessions...

This was started almost a week ago, and then sat on my easel while I did other paintings and things.

The clouds were fun to paint; the foreground was easy, and the cliffs of the monocline and its shadows were the challenge.

It will probably be the last post before our trip to Phx on Tuesday; I'm of course bringing my easel and plan to try and paint every day if I can.  Since there are no holiday obligations to attend to for this trip, the painting logistics should be better.  We are hoping to spend a day in the Superstitions hiking, and I'm hoping I can get a painting in there as well.

  3. Thanks LeAnn - I'm really looking forward to it now as it is currently snowing here.

    Thanks, Debbie - it was really hard to capture the shadows on the cliff/rock faces, but I'm glad you can tell what you are seeing.

  4. Thanks, Helen - I actually just re-photographed the painting to get rid of the yellow cast that I couldn't correct out from last night's artificial light shot.

  6. Thanks, Liz. I think the bigger size was a bit challenging, but it was good to at least give it a try. We are back from our trip; no Superstitions, though.
