I would like your input. This is just the beginning of this painting. I am painting it while looking at the mountains from my window. I am trying to figure out what is the next part of what I need to do. (I am using oils).

Here is a picture from my window. I am taking out all of the houses and zooming in on just the mountains.

Nature is one of my favorite things to draw and paint

Comment by Judy Roberts on August 6, 2012 at 2:37pm

Alan, your ocean scenes are so realistic.  I wish that someday mine could be half as good.  I hope you are selling lots of them, because they rival what I'm seeing at other exhibits!  Congrats!
