Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel.Here's my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. It's the Half Dome along with the Mercer River in Yosemite National Park. The reference photo was graciously supplied by Marianne. Thank you Marianne.
All the way through this one I kept reminding myself: don't over mix the paint.... load the tip of the paint brush...apply it in one or two strokes then leave it alone. Had no idea I could be so danged bossy! I'm startin' to get on my nerves...Heh, heh.

Well, Dean...if you're your own boss, your employee is sure doing a great job!!! Give him a raise, cause this is really nice. The depth perception is just right and the water seems photo realistic. 4 and 7/8 stars!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so good Dean! Love the way you used the thickness of the paint to make the snow cap. Great job on the water reflections too.
ReplyDeleteI love the freshness of this Dean. Well done!

ReplyDeletereally nice Dean. It is such a gorgeous area just too many people there.
