"SWEET SPRING, ARROYO SECO"8"X10"
Well, here it is, the final painting. I read everyone's comments about the adobe and I thought about keeping it, but when someone said the adobe seemed to have "eyes", I saw them and I just couldn't do it! So I adapted it and I love how it turned out. The sky feels like a watercolor and the trees remind me of cotton candy. This is actually from a photo taken up at my brother-in-law's place. The trees were in full blossom and I can't remember if they're apple or Indian plums. So, you will just have to look at them and imagine yourself walking through them, up the hill, to see what's on the other side.
Dee,
ReplyDeleteI have been admiring your work for months. I come to daily painter's every morning while waiting for light. I read that you use markers over paint. I paint mostly architectural scenes of the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I would like to know what type of marker you use. My goal is to be accepted as a daily painter. Please visit my blog. Thanks again.

Hi Rick,
ReplyDeleteThanks for writing. My pens are used for commercial industrial use, kind of like glorified sharpies but extremely heat resistant. You didn't list your blogsite but I will look you up now.
