"Desert Mountain II" by Li Hua Mahalik

Oil on Canvas, 9x12

It's a small painting but it took me a long time to paint, a case of almost overkill. But I learned a lot from the struggle; one of them is, after we outline the rocks or mountain up close accurately with the dark line, try to work with it and don't paint over it because the looseness and crispness of it will be gone and replacing it is harder than you know what:))

"Desert Mountain" by Li H Mahalik

Oil on Telati board, 12x9

I painted this Alla Prima today from a picture, courtesy of my workshop instructor, Linda Glover Gooch, a wonderful painter and teacher. I liked the blue mountain and the warm/cool relationship with the foreground. So distinct in the "Kodak Moment", I almost wanted to do an abstract study. But I got into painting it this way. 

I believe this is the Superstition Mountain.

Painting quickly works better for me because often times I would paint a painting to "death" by over doing it:) It's really better just keep painting - paint the next one!
