    Thanks, Autumn, I was shivering a little also. I put some burn sienna in the grasses to try to "warm" it a bit.LOL

    I have to say that your painting was my favorite of all those done for this month's Wilderness Art Challenge. The backlighting is done so skillfully, and you have created such a wonderful sense of muscularity and movement in the moose. VERY well done, Pat!

    You finished this painting beautifully -- love the backlighting on the moose and how your grasses are glowing with the sun. You've captured the "atmosphere" of color nicely.

    You rose to the challenge - the back-lighting is beautiful. I have been following a few of the monthly challenges and have noticed your paintings. I will be attempting my hand at painting soon and watercolor & acrylics are my paints of choice. I will be looking to your blog a lot for "guidance" I think.
