Mount Nemo, finished version
detail from Mount Nemo
original Mount Nemo, a work in progress
Okay, so this is the latest incarnation of Mount Nemo from last week. I was unhappy with the green strip along the bottom (above). I felt it didn't relate to the rest of the painting. Laurie, my instructor at last week's plein air workshop, suggested I paint it a brilliant orange, like the swaths I had painted just below mid-way. I took her advice and I love it! It's bold to be sure, but I really am loving how it works with the rest of the painting!

Very bold and beautiful painting. You took a big step in changing the color and it paid off.
Love this!!! Great values, strong colors, just the right amount of detail! I will never look at mount Nemo the same!
Kim, Thank you so much for the encouragement. You are so right. I do feel like I've gotten over the hump and am seeing and painting better today. I love Mt Nemo and Carson's Field.
