Daily Miniature
Yesterday we drove to Boulder and and since I was a passenger, I was able to really look at the landscape. Granted the scenes were fleeting, but they were inspiring nonetheless. Colorado has some very beautiful areas, and the Highway stretch from Longmont to Boulder makes me dream of rural living and blissful days of painting. Someone reminded me of this website, Daily Painter, and I was inspired enough to make a commitment to paint every day. My new commitment might only last 3 days, but I'll give it a try and maybe I'll surprise myself. This little scene is an impression from that drive. Originally, there was a man walking down the path carrying his harvest, but it just didn't translate well in this miniature.

The echo cave
First successful landscape
I'm really happy with this one. I think I'm onto something because I tried a new technique. It's not my usual scrubbing and stressing over the surface. Well, there was some of that, but I'm getting where I want to go this time. This is a scene in Abiquiu, New Mexico. I started to paint this series since I've been homesick for the high desert. Painting this really takes me home.
