Again David and I arrived at the McKenzie Preserve at 7am. However, this time we got there before the sunrise due to the time change. Below is the scene I looked most forward to viewing. When the rising sun hits the top of Table Mountain it glows in golds and oranges. Sunday was a little warmer than Saturday and there weren’t very many clouds.
I began this painting last week before the plein air event.
I began Sunday morning with a painting of a tree I really liked. I decided this would be a ‘play day’ to explore the scenery.
I had every intention of painting traditionally but after sketching the mountain top in I played with lines of color. I haven’t decided whether this will remain abstract or if I’ll finish it with a more traditional style.
