Afterglow by Keith Bond, 18 x 30

Painted from a plein air field study, Elk River near Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

I almost passed this scene up. After a long and successful plein air excursion, I was on my way home. I passed this scene but didn't stop. I had thought to myself that I should stop, but I was exhausted and had a 3 1/2 hour drive ahead of me, over mountain roads at night. About a couple miles down the road, though, I decided to turn around. I did a quick plein air sketch to capture the color and value relationships before all light was gone.

In the studio, I developed the painting to capture the spirit of the scene.

When I have artist block I go into my studio and clean it and organize stuff that's discheveled from past previous high energy painting. It's like a reaquaintence and makes me feel better in my private studio world. It's something positive to clean and organize youself, to prepare for the next spurt of motivation to paint.

Keith,

great piece here. I'm sure Afterglow worth the effort and I could see my self turning around to capture this scene.
Love the colors, the light and the shades!
