Well, this one was started 'en plein air' in Montana. A friend had given me the surface to try; a resin treated paper made specially to be light weight for travel. That it was. It also grabbed the paint. I struggled with it and finally gave up, knowing I needed extra time to deal with the properties of this new surface.
I found I rather like it. The oil painting looks almost as if it were done with pastel. So here it is, reworked. Still not quit what I was going for but I was so enamored with the incredible vista of those monstrous mountains, it was a difficult capture!
I still can put myself right back at that moment, painting, the wind blowing and how wonderful it all was!
