Spring Green

Unknown Monday, July 12, 2010
Here is another view from our Alaska trip. This was the view from the train that we took from Anchorage to Seward. What a beautiful, relaxing few hours that was for us. The photo for this was taken on the same day as my last painting so the day was overcast and cold feeling but there were such pretty spring greens in the foliage that I wanted to brighten up my colors for a different feel. Isn't it fun to be able to skew colors in a painting and give a completely different look? This was also done with a palette knife but I did put in the tree trunk with a brush. I just couldn't seem to get it right with the knife. Obviously, more practice is needed.
This method is so much like frosting a cake and once that image was in my head, I started having cravings so I made a spice cake with cream cheese frosting. Yummy! I can tell that this palette knife painting phase is going to cause me to gain some weight.
