    30 in 30 - SEVENTEEN - MOONLIGHT OVER KALAMALKA




    MOONLIGHT OVER KALAMALKA
    8" x 10" Birch Cradle
    Reserved for Skyway

    As you can see I had a terrible time photographing this painting:The actual color is somewhere in between, closer to #1 without the purple shine at the top and with more detail. I tried different backgrounds, real daylight, muted light and natural light with my fancy painting lamp and even with lots of tweaking I couldn't attain the beautiful blues in the actual work. I'm going to try a scan next, but if I can't get the color right I can't submit the painting which is a shame.

    This painting serves as my seventeenth entry into the 30 in 30 challenge. Follow my blog so you don't miss any of my entries.
