Alberta Landscape #85 and #86

A couple of weeks ago the weather turned unseasonably warm and we went out painting en plein air, this time near De Winton.  From a fairly high rise of a hill, I made two paintings.

the view I focussed on is just visible,
beyond my easel at the left

I adjusted this photo a bit to show the colours of the painting a bit more accurately, although it makes the actual landscape far too yellow.

Here's my palette.  I used the same colours for both paintings, though in different proportions:

Until next time,
