To Everything A Season - Reworked (New Mexico Oil Landscape Painting)


"To Everything A Season"  
12" x 16" oil on panel 
Reworked and completed 
$1575




   If you scroll down to the previous post on November 2, you will see I forgot to include a couple of tree reflections in the creek .  Silly me; must be my old age    :-)    So I corrected that problem today and tweaked the foreground a bit.   Your computer monitor and mine will probably differ, but the colors are rich in this painting.  There is a slight glare on the image in the foreground that I had a difficult time trying to correct.   Sorry about that.  I took photo after photo and could not correct the problem. Check the previous November 2 post and compare.

Frijoles Creek Oil Painting (Re-worked) And World's 10 Most Expensive Paintings - (Video)


"Footbridge At Frijoles Creek"
(reworked)
16" x 12" oil on panel
$1575

I was not happy with the photo of this oil painting of Frijoles Creek in New Mexico that I posted the other day; and decided also that the foreground could use more detail work and the water needed to be toned down a bit.   So here is the definitely finished painting.    It was photographed in my studio with light from good "daylight" artist lamps.

Below shows how it looked photographed outside today in the shade.



The photo above is too "blue-ish" as is always the case when I shoot images of my work outdoors in the shade.   Any comments on how to improve on this would be much appreciated.   Frankly, the top photo is more true to the original colors and values of the painting.


Ever wonder how to price your art or if it is too expensive for the market?    Take a look at the 2 videos below for food for thought.







I would love to hear your feedback on these videos !
