It is, so far, waaaaay outside of my usual color palette so I needed that. I want to try to flip-flop everything I know about atmospheric perspective and have the brightest color in the mid-background and the lightest and most muted in the foreground to see what happens with this. There were softly-colored sage bushes and chimisa in the foreground and along the river banks so I am hoping their opaque qualities in the foreground will make this work. If it does not work, I will go back to what I know is correct. But, for some reason, I am feeling this approach is working, up to this point, to show depth in this short and wide composition. Hang in with me on this to see if it continues to show that!Watercolors by Susan Roperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15091873961431846148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35860643.post-72400031220766921342009-10-02T20:05:44.808-07:002009-10-02T20:05:44.808-07:00Susan, So glad you are posting your paintings aga...Susan, So glad you are posting your paintings again.

It looks as if Georgia O'Keeffe herself could have painted this scene, Susan and since she's one of my all time fave painters, that's a compliment, indeed, to your skill and talent. I love that you chose so many colors and yet they all meld perfectly together.RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35860643.post-89199833201406549102009-10-02T10:56:39.906-07:002009-10-02T10:56:39.906-07:00Your colours are so beautiful Susan - look forward...Your colours are so beautiful Susan - look forward to seeing it at a later date.
