After looking at a lot of paintings by one of my 19th Century Tonalist painter heroes, George Inness, I saw the colors of the first dark in my woods through his lens. I used the colors he often did and tried not to overwork the painting surface, as his later work did. I was drawing on older techniques of glazes that I had once used relentlessly and had long since forgotten.
