Another variation on the theme. I'm liking this one better.

Diane Cutter said...: Yes, Ellen, I like it, too. The lines I saw before as mountains have become wind... What is the wonderful purple color?; 4:20 AM
Ellen Shipley said...: Oh dear, you would ask. ;-y

I started with too much thalo blue, so I added oodles more permanent red and white (that's a technical term).

When I go to try and recreate it, I'll probably start with 1 part blue and 5 or six parts @ white and permanent red.

BTW, the blue up top has some of the purple mixed back in, so it's really a very dark purple-blue.

Clear as mud? ;-]; 7:52 AM

LinC said...: Very nice. I like the contrast between the purple-y warmth of the earth and the more remote blue of the mountains. But I still like my version of the tree.; 5:32 AM
Amy Kuczewski said...: Beautiful! I like this one better than the grapey one too- it looks more crisp. Nicely done!; 6:24 AM
