Mt Baker II
About this artwork
Distant view of Mount Baker in Washington state through a stand of fir trees. Sun shimmers off of the lake in the middle ground. Color is probably my most important consideration when making a painting, explains Teresa. I contrast texture - thin wash next to impasto, for example. I work the shapes as if they are puzzle pieces. I use thin glazes to add luminosity and create colors that are unique and luscious, then add thick brush marks as contrast.
