Homage to David W. Mayer

Southwest Art is one of my favorite monthly magazines I purchase to see what other artists are doing. In the September issue there was a small section on Arts at Denver showcasing four artists. David W. Mayer had a writeup on what he is currently doing and one of his paintings, Autumn at Hessie Lake. I liked his work so much it inspired me to do an homage to one of the excellent paintings he finished, Autumn at Hessie Lake. This is my take on this painting.

I wasn't sure if the painting was finished a week ago but today I decided it was time to consider this painting as close to resolved as I was going to get it. This was a part of the four paintings I started working on in August. It was a simple exploration of the color working with tints, shades and other color combinations with red.

And there's some blue, just for the sake of blue - because I like blue. What guy doesn't like blue?
