A New Commission Finished

I just finished a commission for a client who loves this photo I took of the view from my studio where my horse, Sweet Pea, plays a starring role.

Just for fun (and with her approval), I thought I would change the time of day to evening, when the sun slants across the pasture and highlights the trees while turning the rolling hills and Mt. St. Helens a glowing pink.

I started with a watercolor underpainting, then worked from the foreground back and finishing with the sky, which glows at this time of day.

This was a fun and challenging painting and my client is looking forward to adding it to her collection!
