I like the colors, perspective and rocks of this one better than any I have done. Whether that means they are good enough or not remains to be seen, but the fact that I see improvement in my handling of canyons is satisfaction for me. These are difficult for some reason, probably getting the distance perspective correct is the hardest part.
I am a watercolorist living in the desert Southwest, a native of that area. My husband and I enjoyed traveling in our motorhome and I have taken many photographs to be used as reference photos for future paintings on these trips. I have been painting since 2000, it is a passion for me and I have enjoyed exploring all the different subjects to paint; landscapes, florals, portraits, etc. Please feel free to comment below or at susanroper@cox.net.

Canyonlands Sunset - Final?
I am ready to call this the final rendition of this canyon painting. I am awaiting any comments and critiques from the online group, but

I think you get a gold star for this one, Susan, and I'd love to see it in person and look at every nook and cranny! Well done!
ReplyDeleteSuper job, Susan! You have distance, you have red rock, you have interesting shapes, you have an awesome canyon. I give you a gold star too.
