Fields of Arroyo Hondo


Today is Wednesday and we returned to Arroyo Hondo to paint. Ken Auster had us focus on changing the color and tone as objects move in the distance. I had too many objects -- making my scene way to complicated. When I returned to the studio I simplified the composition -- I like it much better this way. I picked a tough focal point -- the fence post in the foreground -- it's tough making a simply fence post the focus in front of such glorious mountains. The colors don't seem to be true in this photo. I'll rephotograph it when I get home. (56/81)
