SENTINELS AT SUNSET

The following video shows the progression of a painting 

that I have just completed. Fisher Peak and the Steeples

are formidable snow covered summits highlighted against

 a beautiful vista of purple and pink clouds at sunset.  

 

Fisher Peak Painting

 

 

I have been painstakingly adding the slightest details to the

mountain range that I am currently painting. I refer to the pain because

 last week I broke my middle finger and cut the tip of my pointer finger

 on my right hand. My bruised and sore fingers have developed shades

 of blues/purples and pinks that would rival the colours of this sunset. :)

How I wish I was ambidextrous!

Needless to say, it has been challenging.

Cheers!

Good Day! I had a great time last night at our weekly Drop-In for art here in Canal Flats. Paula Cravens led a demonstration in pastels. I haven't played with pastels since I was a little girl. I had bought my son a nice set of pastels for Christmas, but neither of us have used them. So, Dawson, my 14 year old son accompanied me to learn and practice using this medium. It was fun and frustrating at the same time. I found it difficult because I usually work in such fine detail with such hard edges. Pastels is truly about letting your inner child play! I was filthy at the end of the evening, but happy to experiment and just ....... let go!
