Media: Oil Sketch on Pannelli Telati fine Cotton Panel
Size: 5x7 in
On Hold
I wanted to call this painting “New Moon amongst the Pondies,” but I figured only people in the west might realize I was referring to Ponderosa Pines, and even many of them might not get it, so … Ponderosas. I spent too long in the Petrified Forest, on my way south from Canyon de Chelly, even though it was too brief to take it all in, and I was hard pressed to find a campsite before nightfall. I had thought I might find a place to tuck in for the night just a few miles down the road, but it was all mostly private land, and the square miles of State land, dotted here and there, were mostly inaccessible. So I had to push the fifty or so miles to the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in the Show Low area. I found a campsite in amongst the Ponderosas, just before it was too dark to make it impossible. The wind rose and I worried about falling trees, but none fell in my area. Pigments used in the painting are … The Pigments used in the painting: Imprimatura: Rublev Ercolano Red; Drawing: W&N Cobalt & Ultramarine Deep Blues; Pigments: W&N: Cobalt and Ultramarine Deep Blues, Cadmiums Orange & Yellow Pale, Permanent Rose; Rublev: Ercolano Red, Purple Ochre, Blue Ridge Yellow Ochre, Orange Molybdate & Lead White #2.
