Mountain Ridges, Water, & Snow Bank



This is another painting I'm happy with.  It is painted with oils, on an 18" X 24" stretched canvas. 




I painted this with help from a Wilson Bickford DVD called:  A Four Color Landscape.    You can find Wilson Bickford all over the Internet, but, his web site address is:  http://www.wilsonbickford.com/ 

On it, you will find lots about Wilson Bickford, plus, bet to see some of his beautiful art work.   Check it out! 

I was afraid about putting in the snowbank wrong and messing up the entire painting. But, I got the guts up and tried it anyway and it came out great. I remembered watching how Wilson Bickford held his knife and listening to his guidance about how to do it. Yay!

  1. I need to see this one in person! In the photo, the water and even the mountains themselves appear to glow. you have achieved a great deal of depth in this painting. And the water! I don't have words to describe it. You have certainly taken a quantum leap with your water. Wonderful job.

  2. Hug, I'll do my best & remember to bring down this painting for you. You always love the mountain scenes. But, let me wait until it is completely dry all over it. Then, I might try & wrap it with seran wrap---that stuff isn't good for anything else anyway...hehe. Hug, please keep reminding me about bringing it after a couple of weeks. I'm so glad that you liked the painting.
