This painting has some rather subtle color relationships going on. To get the humid, atmospheric effect that I wanted , I wound up painting the clouds and sky with nothing but yellow and gray. The trees are actually all neutral yellows and oranges, no green. I was very surprised. Even a hint of blue changed the painting away from what I was trying to capture. It’s the luminous foreground shadow that makes it all work for me.

  1. Its a beauty! I love how you got such a nice luminous glow to it. I would have never thought to make a sky with just yellow and gray, I want to try it some time.
