Original Painting, Watercolor & Ink, Watercolor Sky, Southwest Art

Southwest Travels

This painting is one of those imaginative memories of traveling roads in the Southwest.

Art and Fashion

The spark for this treasury started with the blue jelly fish painting and yellow head band  the other selections are from my favorite artists and artisans in the Etsy community.  As always the treasury feels like a sixteen piece art puzzle.  You put images together and bingo its completed. I enjoy seeing a collective of other peoples creative works.

Imaginative California Landscape

Mountain Fantasy

 

After a train excursion I painted this landscape in my studio, I remembered glimpses of landscape during that adventure and the patterns of the hills. It usually starts with trees, they all have different personalities and then the mountains, sky, and color.  I tried to make the strokes of the painting as expressive as possible.

During the process of painting I was listening to the news in the background.   Somehow the original color patterns I started with changed, I think the colors and texture where influenced by the sounds I heard.  Breaks in the news cycle can be full of drama….and hopefully not to much misfortune.

It’s interesting how all are life experiences, even the subtle sounds can come together in your artistic process.
