Media: Oil Sketch on Ampersand Gesso Panel with additional coat of Rublev Lead Oil Ground
Size: 4x6 in
The stars were out most of the night, and I watched
the Dawn-light on the Ponderosas while having breakfast, and imprinting the
light conditions in my mind. I then
painted the scene while that lighting was fresh in my mind. The radio weather reported Winter storm warning until Noon the next
day for the North Cascades ... just what do they mean by the North Cascades? I'm assuming
that means at least as far south as the Willamette Pass. The high point of the Willamette Pass is not
much higher than my present altitude, so I reckon I will go that way back to
the Valley. It is interesting to realize
that the Santiam Pass over the Cascade Range, north of Bend, Oregon, is also
about the same altitude as I am now, but that I would be descending about 1500'
or more before I got there and have to regain that altitude to climb over the
Pass, whereas going via the Willamette Pass there is no real change in altitude
from here to there. But that was yet to
come. Snow flurries now and again
throughout the day, but not amounting to much, although flurries fell while
preparing supper, but that seems to be de
rigueur on this journey. Imprimatura:
Venetian Red. The Pigments used
were: Rublev Blue Ridge Yellow Ochre,
Italian Burnt Sienna, with Winsor & Newton Cobalt & French Ultramarine Blues,
Venetian Red, and Cremnitz White. For
