Escarpment

Escarpment began with a high horizon point in my mind, .I had this wonderful long canvas, and thought is lent itself to a very dramatic painting.
The colors, the scene, mainly out of my head, and as the painting developed, it took over my thought process, a truly ZEN feeling.

These two sections are top and bottom close ups.

I use a veiling technique over colors, to settle areas back and make only the edges of the cliff the important focus.
