New Landscape

I was able to take a picture tonight of my newest landscape painting in progress. This one was commissioned by a friend of mine! It's still much too hazy - I want to find the balance of adding in more detail while keeping the peaceful feeling of the painting. I'm really liking the colors... I've always known this, but I realized again while painting this that I love, love to mix colors.

It feels really good to paint in oils again. They are so very different from encaustics. I love the way you can move oils around the canvas and work into them while they are still wet. I've actually found some acrylics this week that work much the same way - more on that soon for anyone who's interested...
