"Sacramento River" 9X12 Oil on Board


I am still looking for my digital camera. In the meantime, I am taking pictures with my phone.
Here is a plein air, oil painting of the Sacramento River in California. The day was overcast; therefore, cool colors are used. It was a nice painting and then I took it home and over worked it. Boy - that is frustrating. So I took it to a great critique group and took their advice. The previous painting had orange in the background trees - that did not belong - and I cooled it down.

I haven't checked on the kiln this morning. I will wait until I return from the whale watch.
