Why is it that when you try to photograph a light picture, especially with light blues and grays, it always comes out dull and dingy looking? I like this painting so far, and I have a long way to go, but I am liking the way the sunrise just glows and the trees look like they were hit by the rising sun. It is another tribute to my life and family, and is a common sight at my house! Especially this winter. Snow is deep here and everyone is getting tired of the cold weather. Spring cannot come soon enough! One more thing I should probably say about this painting is that the beige color on the snowshoes is not from painting, but is from a resist that I used to keep those areas from being painted as I did the background. Instead of a masking fluid from and art store, I used "Tear Mender" which is a lot cheaper and actually lasts longer than the traditional ones.
