Plein Air Piece -Salt River



"Salt River Cliffs"
Oil on Canvas
6" X 12"

This is my most recent plein air piece, painted along the Salt River just below the Saguaro Lake Damn.  I usually make my gray - for the cliffs - using Burnt Sienna and Ultramarine Blue, this time I used Viridian and Alizarin Crimson.  I have been experimenting with this combination for a while now.  In certain places I like it a lot.
