Cobalt Lake-The Bugaboos-The Foreground

"If we fail to look after others when they need help, who will look after us?" Buddha

This painting, which is a fundraiser for my friend Dani Lowenstein, is taking shape. As I finish the mountains, trees, and moraine in the background, it is time to focus on the foreground.

I put down the first layer of wash of raw Sienna. I want to capture the colour of the dirt, moss and grass that survives up in the high alpine. It's quite a large area to paint, and it takes a while to dry. As it dries, I plan the next few stages of brushing in the moss, grass and granite. 

Enjoy the journey.
