This landscape was painted with two pigments: cadmium red and ultramarine blue. I don't believe the photograph does the image justice. However, one can recognize the fluidity of the colors and the variation within the colorations.
Dropping in more color in the foreground before the pigments dry gives the picture a greater sense of depth. The use of a rigger brush suggests dormant growth on the edges of the painting.
I often sit on the couch while watching television with a small sketchbook to jot down pigment combinations which come to mind or others that I intend to experiment with.
