Rattlesnake Mountain Fog

Still in the fog, what’s a painter to do but paint fog.   On Friday Catherine and I did a long walk through the Redmond Watershed in the fog and at one point just stopped, held each other and looked up through the trees into the foggy sky.  On Saturday Kristen and I took a hike on Rattlesnake Mountain up past Stan’s Overlook.  The fog was thick the whole time we were on the mountain and this spot was just above Stan’s Overlook where the uphill trees were almost disappearing into the fog.

My first vertical painting of the challenge and back to oils today.  I just don’t know if it is possible to do fog in acrylic since they dry so fast and don’t allow the wet in wet painting to get the fog effect.  I’ll do a bit more darkening on the foreground  and the closer trees in a few days when this dries up a bit, too wet now to get it much darker.
