"Purple Mountains Majesty"

Donna thought the "working" title was a little over the top. What do you all think?

I spent a little time over the Holiday's trying some new things and I really enjoyed it. This is a large painting, 32" x 28", from a picture I took a long time ago on a trip we took to Rebecca and Brent's home in Portland. I believe that's Mount Hood, and if I remember correctly I took the photo from a balcony at Hotel 50 in downtown Portland. I used a very long lens. It was early morning.

This is just the first coat. I plan some very funky glazes to try to capture the beauty of the morning sky. Wish me luck.

  1. Looks like Mount Hood. I lived in Portland for a year. I never got tired of seeing that beautiful mountain. Don't see things like that in Texas.
