I like to work in a series--partly because it removes a variable that can be a barrier to the daily process--I don't have to decide what to paint each morning. But its also because I like to explore different aspects of the same subject. We went to Utah in October and I painted every afternoon we were there, but I also took many photographs, especially on the "cloud" day. Painting from a photograph just isn't the same as painting on site, so this painting was really about color--trying to get a depth of color that didn't exist in the photograph. I think I could have made the color more saturated.
