"Bald Mountain Sunset" by Sally Shisler $75


"Bald Mountain Sunset" (4x4")-201059 $75
The simple shapes of this mountain and lake scene lent themselves to a quick study of the colors and values seen during the elusive time of day when the sun is setting quickly. I chose to capture the fleeting scene basically with 2 values of each hue; blue & orange. This is one of those paintings that needs the support of a descriptive title if my goal is to have the viewer make out what's there. I guess most of my paintings are that way anyway. Some more abstract than others. But nature is always the inspiration. You will note that I am still fussing around with blog design here. Still looking for input, and I really appreciate the comments to the design I tried yesterday! You were all correct - it was too confining, too busy & really not at all related to my artwork. I like today's design trial, but I could do without the birds in the upper right. Anyone have clues as to how to change that?
