Painting at Dusk
This 24x48" Acrylic is of Camelback Mountain at dusk as seen from the freeway. It was challenging to depict the time of day which is when a bit of light is still in the sky, but lights are coming on. I had to try to keep it indistinct the way our eyes don't work in the evening, but yet add enough information. I used a painting knife for the second layer after the underpainting. I used color that I felt more than saw like that crazy green sky.
