Cougar Peak #252

4.75" x 6.75" Oil on Paper

Today definitely felt like fall. The last couple of day there has been a heavy frost in the mornings, and the garden has curled up and shriveled like the feet of the Wicked Witch of the West. I grabbed my oils this evening and tried to capture a bit of that wonderful late evening light, as it blasted the mountainside in shades of orange and violet.

Even colder today with a low of -2 degrees. I painted this images just before dark with Photoshop. I love the light late in the day when you get those deep oranges and purples on the mountain, and where only part of the mountain is lit and the rest of it is in shadow.
