The Sands Of Silence

All this May Gray June Gloom has put me in a Giorgio Morandi mood. I love the title. Those of us of a certain age know where it’s from. 12 x 16 watercolor on paper studio painting from  a photo I took  in  Borrego Springs. “ The Sands of Silence”
 

“White-Hot” high key desert Plein air

 This is the Santa Rosas in full on sun in Borrego Springs. I wanted to try a high key image and work with a very light value range. The foreground is empty because I want the mountains to float as if they are a shimmering mirage in the distance. The painting in person ha a wonderful glow I can’t get with my camera.
