August 19th-Blue Landscape #1

I've been working on this type of landscape for a while, but really had yet to publish one. I did show you a painting with similar tones a couple months back called "Icy Winter", although I really wasn't happy how it turned out. I think this one is a lot better. I'm really having a lot of fun painting just landscapes. When I first started painting, I did a lot of houses and cottages. Sometimes I think (not in all of them) that the landscape suffered, because many times I was just winging it.
I have found several good books to help guide me through this process. Many of them talk about drawing out your compostion from several different angles. When I first started doing art a while back I quite a bit of drawing, but now I am just too eager to start painting. I need to discipline myself more to draw. With my commitment of one painting per week this year, I find myself always in a rush to get the next one done.
Anyways, you should see several more blue landscapes as time goes on.
