This is for Virtual Paintout August 2016, Norway challenge. It's oil on 8x10 canvas board.
After taking a few months off preparing for the Cliburn, I finally got back to picking up my paint brushes again. Norway has many wonderful scenes, and I always like water reflections, so this view was an easy choice for me. (ref) First I painted the canvas panel reddish brown. Snow is combination of yellow white for light and purplish and bluish grey for shadow. Sky reflection is combination of warm to cold blue and greys.
