Actually done from my photos and colour studies. Looking into the sun reduces everything to that silvery ghost of a light. The lack of colour really suits the basic palette of ochre, cadmium red, black and white. When the painting is done I can add the touches of cobalt, yellow and greenhttps://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7183694052299049232-8642209296709015504?l=stevestrode.blogspot.com

Thanks Lindylou/Dazza, All the times I've passed this site and never noticed the wigwam on the horizon. I made it slightly bigger in the painting, but not much though. The things you notice when you stop and look.
