This is a painiting for which I used Maryann Watkins special photograph taken at sunset at the Desert Botanical Gardens. I exercised my "artistic license" quite a bit with this since there was no path such as this in the photo, nor was the horizon this shape. What I tried to do was to capture, instead, the moody colors of this particular sunset. I also liked the shadowy blues in the cholla in her photo, so I accented those here. Thanks again to Maryann for her permission to paint from another of her excellent photos.
I can see why you fell in love with the photo. That sky is wonderful! The colors are terrific!
ReplyDeleteLovely painting, Susan :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, ladies. It is a large (full sheet) painting that took quite a few sessions to do since I can't paint every day like I used to, but it was fun while working on it.
ReplyDeleteFor over 50 years of painting and drawing, my mantra is that "artists should share what they have learned". My Daughter and I have worked hard to build over 120 “How to Art Videos”.
