Tarn in the Ruahines. 15" x 6 1/2", acrylic on paper.
I haven't been able to get a really good photograph - the image above is too contrasty even after being corrected in Photoshop, but it gives the general idea. The details below are a little more accurate for the color but the shadows are still too dark. Agonized over this one; the hills and lake came easily but not the foreground, but I'm ok with it now. It's tricky: how to make a picture that reads well at a distance, but has a lot of interest when you're up close too.
Tired! Going home.
Interesting...fresh eyes in the morning...both of the details might be worth making into large paintings. I prefer the zoomed-in views of things.
