'Mountain pass' 6 x 6 in.  acrylic on board.

We were down south and near the mountains early autumn a year ago. I took a bunch of photos for painting reference later.
This week I hauled them out of my i photo files, chose what I thought had the most potential and cropped them heavily for these little 6x6 in. studies. Its a quick way to see if any of them could make bigger paintings. Some work some don't.

This one above definitely has potential I think. I simplified the trees ( there were lots more), moved the road around to make it more interesting and increased the amount of lake showing at the base of the mountain.

'Okiwi Bar'  6x6in. acyrlic on board.  sold


My first painting for several weeks which have occupied packing up our house, loading a hired truck and moving to another town. We will be traveling for a few months before settling into our new home.  Hopefully lots more time to paint.
