Here is a 5 x 7 inch study done quickly after premixing a group of five mass colors. The power lines were edited out because I was focused on the road that angled up the mountain.
This image shows the 9 x 12 inch panel. It is a little different proportion, slightly more square. It is basically the same painting, but somewhat darker. The sky became cloudier as I worked and the landmasses became darker as a result. I used the premixed colors and blocked it in using dark to light and thin to thick sequential passes. As you can see this one has a bit more information.

I'm a huge fan of all your work, Ron, but I really love the loose style of your studies. The furitive zigzaggy brushstrokes in these 2 studies take us on what looks like a rough ride up a hill on a [snow covered?]road. I love the greys, browns and dark sky--hope we will get to see the finished piece.
Hi Ron - great to see your post. Let me know when you are in the Capitol area.
Wonderful studies Ron. Looks like a cold snowy day to paint outside.
