"Backlight paintings are a delight to do", says Robert. "But they must be sneaked up on-like catching a monkey, otherwise they just get away from you. The secret in painting this type of painting is patience. Its working from the middle tones up and then down, then up and down again a few more tones, until the full range of tones from light to dark is covered. When they are done with care and flair they can be stunning. The fall colors against the soft blue back hills and steel blue trees gives this painting a vibrancy and lift to excite the subject. With dots and dashes of light green, purple and yellow its a cacophony of small but intriguing strokes. The result is a painting that jumps off the wall under light." [endtext]

Quotes:
“Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.”...Henry Van Dyke
"Painting and observing directly from life is the best way to learn to paint, but studying other paintings is essential also. Knowledge about painting and technique has been handed down through history so there's no sense in re-inventing the wheel....
Study paintings to see how other artists simplify shapes or how heavy or thin they apply the paint is helpful in developing your own view of nature. Don't study just one artist, but as many as you can. Look at how they treat edges, hard or soft. Look at how they see color, do they push temperature contrast or emphasize muted color harmony. Studying the way other artists deal with composition is helpful too, or how they deal with detail. ...Western artist Phil Starke
