Thousand Island Sunset Drama

I practiced small study last week.  I learned much, but mostly I learned to pay a little more attention to Edges and Color Temperature.  The small study, just lost its unity as I did not have the temp correct.  I used a much larger collection of brushes this time.  This was fun.

Thousand Island Sunset Study

Hoping to use this for a larger studio painting.  This is from an evening Laura and I spent in Clayton, NY at the Thousand Island Inn.  Home of Thousand Island Dressing.  As the sun set, the sky just got more dramatic.  I wanted to premix some of the colors on a small scale prior to starting a large studio paint.
