Two new desert paintings!
The first is one I made while my vision was foggy last month (from films that developed on the lens implants I received after my cataract surgery three years ago). I was able to tweak the painting a bit after I got the laser treatment to remove the films, but there were still things I just couldn't see while the world was blurry -- such as the brush marks and ridges of paint that took away from the smooth surfaces I prefer on my paintings. Oh, well. I guess I can live with it. Below are the images of the entire painting plus a detail showing the two bunnies:
In the Arizona Sun................... 24"/45.7cm x 61cm |
Detail -- two desert cottontail bunnies! |
As one enters this special place, a lone cottonwood tree appears to the north of the road among one of the rock piles. We happened to see it in early November, and the golden yellow made it a star shining in a blue and brown vista! So this was what I painted:
Lone Cottonwood in Lone Pine....... 8"x10"/20cm x 25cm |
So that's it for now!! More paintings are on the way -- thanks for reading this, and thank you for your support!
