Elaine

18 x 24" original oil
commission

This commission is finished and I am pleased with how it turned out. There seems to be a good balance of pinks scattered around amid the yellows and oranges, and there are little spots of greens and blacks adding balance as well. Spring seems so far away (Utah is in an inversion...if you don't know what an inversion is, picture icky gray pollution smog trapped over a mountain valley and you've got it). Inversions aside, I still love Utah winters. I remember the first year I spent out here, studying at BYU, and the first winter sunset I saw on the mountains. It took my breath away how the snowy mountains turned bright pink-orange!
