| Sunset IX in the Palisades after a snow, March 17, 2014 Oil in canvas |
I painted tonight from the porch of a house in the Palisades in Northwest D.C. that looks west toward the Potomac river. There was snow I referenced in yesterday's post, no wind, and a blanket of clouds stretching to the horizon.
The house in the painting overlooks Canal Road and the reddish blue transition of color in the background is Virginia that lies just across the Potomac. There's a ravine between the house in the painting and my location, which explains the vertical lines suggesting trees in the foreground.
Another painting tomorrow!
Catching up
Here's the sunset from the night before. With the approaching weather system there were just low clouds, north winds, and very little in the way of sun other than the even light illuminating the clouds.
