This oil landscape painting of New Mexico is an area at Frijoles Creek in Bandelier National Park. Mule deer are abundant in that park. To view a demo of the various stages of this work, go to my website.
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.
