Blackwood Canyon - Lake Tahoe

More a study of greys and neutrals. Barry John Raybould (http://www.bjrgallery.com/) is really good, in my opinion, of using greys effectively.
This was a plein air painting on a afternoon with fairly flat light on a late summer day this year. I see some areas that could have used a few "value" adjustments, but I left it alone when I got back the cabin and I'm happy that I did.

Autumn Marsh Study


Marsh Study in the Fall season. I have done quite a few marsh paintings this Fall. This one was painted with a combination of palette knifes and traditional brushwork.
