Summer Green!

Early Summer - Leslie Snider

The simplicity of this grove of trees

 with the many variations 

of maturing foliage 

caught my imagination.

Golden Sky

I'm surprised to find

morning and evening skies this time of year 

can be widely varied with

 a variety of golds,yellows and oranges.

Revisiting a photo from  2016,

I'm pushing the colour 

with more intensity

reminiscent of those observations. 

Bonnechere 2019 - Leslie Snider

Using uart 400 sanded paper

I begin with a black tonal underpainting.

The second step is to begin boldly applying colour.

Finally over many revisions

 I slowly bring the picture into focus,

building up layers

and softening edges.
