Purple Mountain Majesty

Commission

28" x 48" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Landscape/Palette Knife Painting

I was commissioned by one of my collectors to paint the McDowell Mountain Regional Park located in Scottsdale, Arizona.  The painting will hang in the living room of their condo, with the mountain range as the view out their big window and patio.  I know it will look great all framed up and hanging in it's new home!  Thanks for looking at my blog!  Kay

On my easel...

Here are two 9" x 12" paintings that might be finished....they are sitting on my easel, and I am thinking about it. I have two other versions of this painting going also. The sky and mountians were painted first. I loved doing the mountains with the palette knife. Two things have given me problems in this painting: The color of the field and the chapel. I have changed the grass to yellow ochre, to sap green, and everything in between. The photograph I have been working from doesn't have much detail in it, and it is very hard for me to see the chapel. I may need to take a break from these paintings, as I have worked on them for two weeks. More to follow on these....I will be doing some Christmas shopping and working on our family Christmas card today. Have a good day, and thanks for viewing my blog!
