8" x 10" Oil on Canvas covered Board
A plein aire value study completed on 7/3/10. I was sitting on the back deck of a house near Cashiers, NC just before sunset. It had been very hazy all afternoon. The sun was about to set just over those mountains but still was not visible through the cloud cover. My goal for this quick painting ( approx 20 min. ) was to get the correct values - the different colors just sort of happened. I did not achieve the value separations that were intended, however, the study was not all bad. The finished work has sort of a good feel to it.
