Today was just one of those days, absolutely perfect weather, crisp and bright...my inspiration for this painting.  I don't do many landscapes but I am always pleased when I decide to tackle one.  The tricky part for me is not going to crazy with my detail and paint strokes...I have to keep saying to myself "slow down" stay in the moment.

Yesterday I took the day off from painting and watched a video of Daniel J Keys, one of my very favourite artists. I tried incorporating some tips I have learned, I have watched the video several times and always pick up something new.  I took this photo a few months ago, it was quite a grey day but still so beautiful, I took the liberty of adding  more colour than was actually present.  I really enjoyed working on a large(for me) canvas as my usual size is 6 x 6 inch.
