Near Lower Granite Dam11 x 14 on Bristol paper
When I first heard the art term "aerial perspective," I thought "I know just what they mean!"
Well, until I learned that it meant a technique of creating depth by depicting distant objects with less detail and contrast.
Hm. Live and learn, I guess. I thought it meant the perspective a person had from the vantage point of an airplane. I have lots of experience with that! My husband and both sons are pilots and I have logged plenty of hours in the right seat, holding the charts and looking out the windows at the landscape beneath.
This painting was inspired by a flight I took with my son, Nick, over the Snake River in Washington. Still in the Palouse, but from a slightly different perspective, an aerial perspective!

Love your painting, photo, AND perspective:-))
beautiful! (everything..your painting, your son, you and Frank)
Your "aerial perspective" is the best! I appreciate the size of your painting when seeing the view inside your studio.
Wow. What a darling photo of you and Nick.
