#7 Vistas and views

My profile banner image was taken from the top of the hill at the back of our house (looking down the opposite side!) I knew the little loch was there and I wanted this sort of composition. My side of the hill is completely different - that's where the houses are more sheltered! It was a lovely calm day here.

I'm not much of a visual artist, but the first step is just doing it and finding the pleasure in it rather than worrying about being good. But I always struggle to figure out what to depict. Supplying prompts is great, but it remained too open-ended. So, I built a little spreadsheet that took the list of prompts from above and randomly picks two of them to combine.

My first paired prompt is "orange PLUS dwellings", and I imagined living in an orange:

I'm out of order as usual,  but here's some colour mixing practice to see what range we can get with just three colours.
