This painting of Laramie Peak, WY started with a thumbnail sketch I drew from memory, from which I did three acrylic underpaintings. This is the first finished painting, using the top underpainting from the WIP post. When I paint from memory I don't look at photos. For this painting, I just remembered the feeling of being there and I ended up capturing the features and colors of this landscape that I most identify with Wyoming.
Paintings like this remind me of why I started to draw and paint. I knew this picture was done when I was compelled to stop painting and just look, feeling like I was there seeing the mountain.
