Morning Sentinels - A Work in Progress

These are the twin pines that are almost at the top of the hill at the back of my property. I have painted them many times, in every season and at different times of the day and night. Each time it is as though seeing their beauty and majesty for the first time.

The morning sky has been painted in using Antwerp blue and alizarin crimson. The clouds are a mixture of Antwerp blue, French ultramarine blue and a touch of burnt sienna.

The trees were lightly drawn in and parts of the treetop have been painted silhouetted against the sky. It should be interesting to see the final result.

I will post this painting later once I have completed the trees.
