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.

Taos Shadows
This is a painting I finished (?) yesterday at the Thursday afternoon watercolor group painting session/therapy session/comedy club. My reference was an excellent photo by Terry Dekker at Paint my Photo. I loved those shadows! I need to paint more, I lost my passion for this project because I took so long between painting sessions on it.

I really like the colors in the building and those shadows are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSusan,
ReplyDeleteI love Taos and Rancho d'Taos, we had some wonderful times there. Your painting is wonderful but I wonder if you might want to go one or two degrees darker in places in some of the deeper shadows to create an even more striking painting. Only my humble opinion, as always, I LOVE YOUR WORK!!!
