more ground fog

9x12 pastel on watercolor

This is the painting from my demo last week. The ground fog concept is obsessing me. Skies need unity. For me that means a joining of color. When the fog touches the land it works like a veil of color. In this one the blues drift into the land. Still the top half of the sky needs to relate its colors to the land. Deep burnt sienna of the foreground land sings to the light melon of the upper sky. Does that make sense?
On another note, I have received a few emails about the workshop. In each I have been asked, "where is it?" I laugh at myself for omitting such important information and apologize to you. The workshop is here in the DC area. We will meet at my studio on Friday night and work in the field- the Potomac River and surrounding lakes- on Saturday and Sunday. If it rains, we have studio space in DC. Here is the info. Email me if you have questions. Hope you can come!
