Oil on canvas panel, 10x8"
While on our honeymoon, we took a helicopter tour of the island of Kauai. It was pretty cool, flying over the tops of mountains and into the depths of valleys. It had been quite rainy, so there were waterfalls everywhere as the rainwater made it's way back to the sea. Also thanks to the recent rain, the air was pretty misty. So as the sun got lower in the sky, it created quite a glow through the valleys. That's what I tried to capture with this painting. The lush green in the foreground shadows and the misty glow as sunlight hit the mountains in the distance. Not sure how successful I was, but one thing about this blog is that I post all my paintings, the hits and the misses.
