It was a really beautiful day today. Not a cloud in sight and the air had a sparkle to it in the morning light. My painting pal Bev and I decided to paint by a wash. We like the way the land slope down on either side and the light on the rocks. We like how these barrel cactus have red needles that really glow. You can see from the photo how I simplified and did some changing of the subject. The painting is an 11x14 oil on a panel.
We had a lot of people stopping along the trail. One lady said she wanted to start to paint and had ordered an easel. When it came 5 years ago it wasn't put together so it is still in the box! I think we talked her into coming out next week and giving it a try!
