LJ and NJ

I am beginning two new projects– one each for each of my two painting classes.  Here I’ll post the reference photos for one; another post will have photo for the other.  The first, the mountain scene, is from another wonderful photo Norma took on her trip to Norway last summer.  This one, “Sunrise”, is actually from the very same area as “Sunset” — the one i just finished.  It’s taken an hour (maybe?) later than Sunset and I think she said it’s the same mountain.  Pretty dramatic!  Because teacher for this class likes me to use small canvasses, the canvas for this painting is only 9″ x 12″.  So far I’ve just done the tracing and very small area of sky.
