Yosemite Snowy Night

Original oil painting by Jeri McDonald. 14x11 oil primed hardboard/canvas using Gamblin oil ground. This painting is actually made up from my own imagination based on a couple of previous studies I posted here earlier and one last year. I am trying to capture how light works at night in the winter with snow and create a glowy mood. Getting that to happen with all the blue and violet is very difficult. The real painting is actually a bit more violet and the greens more gray but even with photoshop it is still tough to get it exactly like the original painting and I am an expert in photoshop since using it in my professional career.
