Hello! Here is a look at the finished lavender sky and mountains for this commission. It was requested that the mountains have snow caps and that they resemble the color of the Blue Ridge Mountains. In response to this request, I created my own mountain range that included both ideals. The one thing I noticed when I saw the Blue Ridge Mountains a couple years ago was how soft and quiet the scene looked. Although the mountains had their own majestic appeal, they felt like the quiet protector. That was the feel I was thinking about when I painted the sky and mountains today - strong yet soft. When this layer dries I will look forward to adding evergreen shadows. There will be many of them and they will be magnificent!

Until next time...
