My first inclination is that this needs something more. It came together quickly.  A surprise because I was using a palette knife. I was happy with it when I set it aside to dry.  It feels restful to me.

So am I equating struggle with success? I don’t think so. The great thing is, I can live with this for a while, and still add to it later.

 

If you truly love nature,
you will find beauty everywhere.

I should have done one more landscape to split the month down the middle. Those hills will pop up again I am sure. Still more I want to try.

Had a hard time today getting the colors to show true in Photoshop. Usually I add a bit of light and vibrance. But I had to “dull” this down by going into the negatives on both of those settings.  Clay, sand, white, desert rose, indigo. Warm, soft, calm.

This is a new piece, not one of the abstracts I struggled with. I worked on four today. The others need more work, and I needed to step away and let them breathe.

I did some cropping, just playing in Photoshop, pulling out my favorite parts. Wonder how many interesting images I could get from this one small painting.
