[Aquanet] winter scenes

[Richard Price]

Thanks for the nice comments, Judy. I masked out the white buildings and
then tried to be bold with the first washes of color over my drawing to
set the stage for that light effect. I thought I overdid it until they
dried and turned a little lighter. Adding the darks brought it back into
balance. I am happy with the final light effect. As always, I see a
couple of things that I would change. I wish I had made the arrangement
of dark spruces on the left a little different. The spacing tends to
echo the triple windows above them more than I would like.
I put those in when I realized that the space in that shadow needed more
interest and some darker shapes. Have to be careful with those last
minute additions. 
Since we are all our own worst critics, I am going to shut up now and
stop picking at it.

The quality of the work in this month's submissions is just wonderful!
Absolutely beautiful paintings.  
 
I am especially moved by Richard Price's painting.  Richard, your
painting simply glows with light!  I am transfixed by it.
 
This is an impressive group!
 
Regards and holiday wishes to all,
