Last Summer

Snow storm yesterday 

with treacherous driving conditions

 (a disadvantage of country living

 the roads don't get the attention of townies)

so I missed a concert to which I was quite looking forward. 

To cheer myself up, 

here are two pics of summer fields.

You'll notice fog in the distance as they are morning studies.

I love that time of day 

as the sun begins to warms the ground, 

 colours are more vibrant than full midday.

February Challenge

As part of a (Wet Canvas)challenge, 

I've been thinking about combining warm and cool colours

 within my painting.

Lemoine Point _Leslie Snider

In this previous example

 the colour scheme is analogous.

You will find all the colours used along one side of the wheel.

Red tint (pink), Blue (turquoise blue tint), purple (black purple tone).

 

In this example 

(heavily influenced by Tom Thomson)😇

I've been more adventurous with colour 

and chosen a wider range of colours 

as well as the purer form of colour.

(Colour choices marked with stars on the wheel.)

It was a fun challenge and introduced ideas worth exploring😄

Isolation

Your loss will not go unrecorded

My previous post included 

 a couple of photos of trees in isolation, 

separated from their environment

 by the fog.

Trees may or may not have feelings 

but they certainly

prompt emotional reactions,

as in this example.

On a  warm summer's day 

while walking in dense forrest,

I came across this dying pine.

A shaft of light pierced the dense forrest 

creating this dramatic effect.
