The layers of hills and fields in this painting naturally give it depth. The colors are richer and warmer as it moves forward in space. A difference in this painting is that I used the palette knife more in the background than the foreground. You can see the thick directional brushstrokes going down the hill side. I loaded the paint on my brush and put in some confident, direct strokes. In the background I carefully layered color with my palette knife. I used some violets and alizarine in the green to cool it and gray the color so that it would recede. The eye goes toward the grouping of trees on the hillside since they are surrounded by light values and the strong color of the golden hillside.

I didn't get a lot of painting done today, errands to take care of. I will continue with my painting and photographing the progression of it tomorrow.
