Sunset Columbia River Gorge (plein air)

12X9 oil on board. From Vista House (Crown Point State Park) looking west towards Portland, OR up the Columbia River Gorge. This shows rather darkly on this monitor at the B&B on my recent trip to SFO. Looks fine on my home monitor though. New photos to come...sometime... maybe after getting a color monitor calibrator. Anybody use one of those?

Comment by Michael Chomse on September 9, 2013 at 8:13: This works really well. Well done, Jan.

Comment by Jan Flynn on September 9, 2013 at 7:50: Thank you Laura, Jessica and Michael. It was done in about 3 hrs at Vista Point, wet in wet, late afternoon. I did not mean for it to be in the WS25 competition, but it inherited the album tags for mastering sunsets. I don't see a way to drag it into a different album. What I love about plein air is you don't have time to overwork the painting....but have to be careful when you do any touch ups in the studio. I have ruined a few pieces that way. The only touch up done in studio was in the two top corners where the easel clips left bare board.
