Simple Landscape! 6x8 oil on canvas

On the heels of a workshop with Carol Marine I took a class from Laurel Daniel - lucky me! Two of the very best painters and teachers in the world and right in my "backyard". I still can't get over it. So, this was my first landscape - our first class was held inside due to rain, but we learned the basics of blocking in that I applied here. It's very simple because I was diligently following the rules... darkest dark (uprights), lightest light (flat plains) and then in between. I worked the whole class period on it, almost 3 hours, I love it. And my teacher rocks!
