A Difficult Photo

Based on the hues and chroma that are contained in a painting, getting a good, accurate photo can be difficult at times. This painting is a good example. The entire work has a greenish-yellow cast over it. I wanted to show this un-natural glow as a way to demonstrate the uneasy state that has settled over the coal industry and the people who depend on it. The result, which I'm happy with, has made the photography a real pain in the you-know-what. In-person, this painting has a real nice saturated glow to it. Here, online, you'll have to trust me.

PS: this painting won an Award of Excellence and was purchased by the state in the 2015 West Virginia Culture and History Juried Show.
