The clouds were fun to paint; the foreground was easy, and the cliffs of the monocline and its shadows were the challenge.
It will probably be the last post before our trip to Phx on Tuesday; I'm of course bringing my easel and plan to try and paint every day if I can. Since there are no holiday obligations to attend to for this trip, the painting logistics should be better. We are hoping to spend a day in the Superstitions hiking, and I'm hoping I can get a painting in there as well.
Have a wonderful and inspiring trip!
ReplyDeleteI can feel those clouds shifting! Lovely painting.
ReplyDeletehHve a great trip!
Thanks LeAnn - I'm really looking forward to it now as it is currently snowing here.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie - it was really hard to capture the shadows on the cliff/rock faces, but I'm glad you can tell what you are seeing.
Thanks, Helen - I actually just re-photographed the painting to get rid of the yellow cast that I couldn't correct out from last night's artificial light shot.
ReplyDeleteLove the painting. Have a fun painting-filled road trip! Love the Superstitions. Haven't been there ins years.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Liz. I think the bigger size was a bit challenging, but it was good to at least give it a try. We are back from our trip; no Superstitions, though.
