SQUAM STILLWATER : FIVE PINES {3}

What would happen if one combines the Japanese like elegance of native

pines with 15th Century Florentine musical ratios by way of

the Greek Philosopher Pythagoras? Let's find out.

THE BLOCK- IN

Squam Stillwater: Five Pines  ( in progress)

James Aponovich

oil on canvas, 24" x 18"

I now need to cover the entire surface of the canvas with a coat of paint.

 Since most of the painting is sky ( or reflected sky) I can rely on

my ' sky progression' sequence, ie. pale Naples Yellow transitioning

into Ultramarine Blue. There are usually seven colors of deepening

value, each reflected in the water. The land is a soft Cobalt Green

with Mt. Chocorua bathed in distant sunlight.

So...with all the blues, violets and greens everything is quite cool.

That usually means I will want a 'Hot Spot'.

Stayed tuned.....
