In The Studio: A Quick Oil Sketch: “Route 1Rockland, Maine”

I painted this little 9×12 sketch with two goals first to make the sketch express a dark value composition, with a little piece of light, and secondly to express the center of interest with as little detail as possible letting the simple color contrast orange red/yellow green do the job.  I stopped when I felt I had expressed the color concept.  That was my big goal.
