Orange Sunset Painting

This is a view of Montrose, Colorado, from just outside the door of my studio. The hills are known locally as "the adobes" but they are actually mounds of decomposed shale. The setting sun casts ever- changing hues on their sumptuous shapes. They were a lurid orange on this particular evening. Orange clouds hovered above, too, so I chose Daniel Smith's pyrrol orange to capture the scene. Shale particles in the shadows pick up reflections from the sky above and the hills around them, which I highlighted with duochrome watercolor paints. This won a ribbon at our local Montrose Visual Arts Guild show last fall.
