Back to Basics

I was cleaning up my plein air kit this morning and I realized that I've let my palette creep up to 10 colors. That adds up to a lot of weight so I decided to sit down and see if I could still knock something out with the classic limited palette - yellow, red, blue and white.

So, here's a study from a photo I took in the Yosemite high country many years ago.

It’s another foggy day here in Southern California so I picked out a photo I took in Mammoth Lakes on a very clear morning.

I’ll venture back out into the fog tomorrow but for now I’ll live at the sunny lake!
