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.

Silverton to Ouray
I have started another painting, this time from a photo I took of the scene from the 550 highway (Million Dollar Highway) that connects Silverton, CO to Ouray, CO. I loved the view with the mountains behind and the alpine valley below. There is still masking fluid on the mountains to be removed, so will do that and fine-tune that area next. So far, so good.

This one is going to be beautiful Susan. those mountains are gorgeous
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful start, Susan...looking forward to seeing your progress.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful start!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bobbi, Carol and Rhonda! When I first saw this view I knew I just had to paint it. It was breathtaking. Here's hoping it turns out to live up to its promise!
