Cliff Cave Park in Sunlight Painting

Recently, while painting on location, I quickly became attracted to this lovely scene. Trees were lined up on either side of the pathway leading toward the lookout over the Mississippi River. Early morning sunlight made the trees come alive with beautiful shadows and light. I always try to capture the light effect of the actual scene or the reference photo. As I often do I pushed the colors, from the local color, to incorporate more intense purples and yellow greens. My materials include artist oils with a little linseed oil on Masonite hard board coated with several coats of gesso. The painting measures 6" x 8" or 15 x 20 centimeters. A professional camera was used to ensure the image is as close to the actual painting colors as I can get. As soon as the painting dries thoroughly, I will varnish it to protect and preserve the paint surface. I use high quality frames which come with hanger wire so it will be ready to hang when you open the box. The frame is black with warm undertones. I think you will be pleased. When this painting is purchased, it I will ship in a sturdy cardboard box and is packaged with the utmost care to minimize any chance of damage. The work will be insured and a signature will be required upon delivery. If you have any questions please contact me directly through my email on my website. Thanks for viewing my painting.
