30" x 24" Acrylic on Canvas
I painted this after studying some of Alber Bierstadt's work. A lot of things in this painting were inspired by his paintings. Something I might try differently if I were to repaint it is to put some highlights into the foreground to give the illusion of light hitting the grass. I really like the way the rocks and waterfalls turned out across the lake. Also, I used my knife to paint the rocks in the foreground (I haven't used my knife for a long time but need to use it more often). The .jpeg image turned out slightly yellower than the original. One of these days, I may get on the computer and retouch that up..
