| Methow Valley Sunrise, 11" x 17" SOLD |
I just finished this painting I was working on at Gallery Wine last week. This is a view from above Winthrop, Washington looking across Hwy 20 and the Methow River Valley. Our family has visited this area several times a year for probably twenty years now. The place has a beauty and character all its own. In the winter, the cross-country skiing is fabulous! It is a wonderful welcome winter escape from soggy, dark Seattle to the beautiful sunshine and snowy bright light of the Methow Valley!
I believe this is my first real winter landscape painting ever. Usually, winter scenes are a bit desolate for me, but in this scene, I love how the rising sun dusts everything with it's colorful glow. I'm also very interested in incorporating more atmosphere in my paintings and I love this misty valley. I hope you enjoy the painting!
