Carole Pivarnik SNP: Pinnacles Overlook #2 Gouache 11 x 15 $350

"This piece was painted en plein air at the Pinnacles Overlook in Shenandoah National Park. Early morning rains had obscured the vista utterly with low-lying clouds but as the sun rose higher, the clouds dissipated, leaving remnants of mist rolling up from deep valleys between the ridges. It was a captivating sight, one I felt compelled to capture. This work was painted wet-in-wet with gouache (an opaque watercolor) using a palette knife and liberal application of water from a spray bottle. This approach produces serendipitous abstract marks and visual interest as both the knife and dripping/splattered water etch into and move the paint."
