Oil Landscape Painting

Alice Cook, 2014

Just finished an oil landscape painting that was reworked over a previous landscape painting.  The scene is simple, sky, one large mountain and land.  The previous painting done on this canvas was a representational painting done early in my artistic career.  The current landscape was painted directly on top of the old painting.  It was interesting to find out which color of paint had better covering power, so that the old landscape wouldn't show through.  Bold colors were used in the new painting with bold design features.  I really had fun painting this one and was pretty spontaneous with it, except for planning the color palette.  Enjoy!
