November of 1985 | |
| I came across this
wandering stream among the tall grass in a narrow canyon. It was quite
late in the afternoon. The sun was beginning to back light the trees
and bushes. This makes for a rather difficult time to sketch.....the
sun is usually shining in my eyes and the background trees look very
flat. But the sun creates a halo around trees and bushes where the
outside foliage reflects the light and creates a strong contrast to
the denser parts of the tree. I always love coming upon these narrow
mountain streams. This one leads the eye into the scene and creates
a nice shadow along the shaded side of the bank. This sketch was completed
very rapidly...under an hour. $1.50 each |
