I've been there – Golden Gate Bridge - San Francisco - California - USA
Water Mixable Oils on canvas 16 x 20 inches. I started with the sky and after that I painted the sea rocks. Finally I added the bridge and the small buildings suggesting the town where the end of the bridge touches the land. I was there in 1992 and the landscape/seascape impressed me so much that I planned to make this painting but didn't have the mood and inspiration until these days when finally I made it. Hope you like it.

Roberton Island - New Zealand
Greens family is a difficult colour, especially in landscape painting where we find also the blues family interacting with it. And the overuse of bright greens looks like an amateur painting. At a first look to a photo such as the photo 1 of the Roberton Island by RR, it seem to be easy to reproduce the nature in all its splendour but when it comes to harmoniously transfer it on canvas the colour mix becomes muddy and hence inexpressive. What did I do? Trying something unusual such as mix ing black with yellow to get dark greens, burnet umber with cadmium yellow light for soft tones and eventually phthalo blue with cadmium yellow light to get vibrant tones………
