I had a wonderful learning experience at a Susan Ogilvie workshop last week. This is one of my favorites that I completed. It's 12"x20" on prepared gatorfoam (an orange acrylic under-painting with a pumice mixture on top) Used primarily Terry Ludwig's, Schmincke, Great American's, and Girault's.
This location is near Priest lake, Idaho - we drive by it every summer.
I'm not doing anything more to this piece...as Susan liked it as is!
I had difficulty photographing this piece...there are more "blues" in the mountains and sky.

Thank you ladies!
HI David, Both of these new painting are wonderful, but I especially love this one! You really capture the feeling of a place.... I can just step right in, and I'm there!
Love it! Linda
I do think you are a country boy at heart! :) Truly the essence of the countryside painted with depth and feeling! I love this one David!!!

Thanks for all the wonderful comments! They're very much appreciated!
Ah yes this does indeed look like north Idaho!
Hey David, about the figure drawing sessions you could just start your own group with other artist friends and find models to pose once a week or so.
Our winter salon drawing group sessions have provided good practice for all of us. I love the figure and am very happy to get back to it as a subject.
This is very sweet, David. I like it.
Thank you Diana and Tina!
Diana...they actually have sessions around here...I just need to sign up!
So beautiful! Love the color!
Okay, seriously...
this one makes me want to cry.
But in a good, great way!
Just beautiful!

This is truly a beautiful work... Like you I am often drawn to use high color - but the subdued hues you've used here are beautifully visually seductive.
