"Elevations" - Oil - 10" x 8"

"This scene in southern California was a study in warm and cool contrast. The distant mountains were in delightfully cool tones that enhanced the dry grasses of the foreground. I placed the horizon line low to emphasize the scale of the farm vs. that of the mountains."  --- SFG

NOTE TO ARTISTS:
Before beginning a landscape, experiment with where you place the horizon line. The psychological effect is very different, so choose the placement according to what you are trying to say. A low horizon line like this one minimizes the importance of the viewer (makes him smaller) compared to the subject. I wanted to emphasize the scale of the mountains in this painting.
