Glimmer

Glimmer, 36x48", oil on canvas
2009 Karen F. Rose
This large oil on canvas, is a memory painting.

I had been reading the well known book,

Guide to Landscape Painting by John F. Carlson.

His chapter on painting from memory is

well... still stuck in my memory.

Important lessons learned-use direct observation, but

then paint from memory creating an impression

and mood.
