Another overcast day...cold too. Guess winter is not over. So back to the studio. This painting is from photo reference from earlier in the winter. I was at the Oregon Bad Lands...which are not bad at all...in fact they are absolutely beautiful if you like desert. I did a couple of plein air paintings that day, but earlier, had taken some photos when setting up...It is very hard to actually do a dawn plein air when the light changes in just a few minutes. I have done some...but have to rely on a very quick sketch and memory. (Again this painting was painted over a sanded out former painting. How economical! How green!)
