Yosemite Landscape

Close ups

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.

Romans 14:8 If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

  1. 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!!

  13. The areal perspective is excellent. Although the mountain is a warm color, it still appears in the distance. The water is very well rendered too.
