Chalk Mountain Road by Jill Randall
8”x 16” oil on Raymar Canvas
The low water crossing on Chalk Mt. road is near Glen Rose, Texas. I started this painting a year ago, but didn’t like the results but did want to paint the scene. I sanded it lightly and painted over the original using my reference photos. I worked on it all week and wiped it out three times. Finally I complained to my friend Sheri Jones about my problems with color harmony. She suggested that I mix up my gray first then add some of it to my other color mixtures. I took her advice and the painting seem to paint itself. I was so pleased I didn’t have to go through another wipe-out or chuck the painting. Thanks Sheri.
