Today's palette…haven't done one of these in a while. Sometimes I feel like my feed needs a little shock of color. #palette #color #watercolor

“May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.”- Edward AbbeyDay 21, painting 5 of #100daysofscottishlandscapes. Blà Bheinn or Blaven inspired by @celtic_wanderer. 8”x10” matted and framed. I’m so glad I took time to look at this a little longer. It can be quite difficult to step back from a piece when part of you wants to push through. Sometimes that works but there are other times where it's best to be patient and give it time to percolate a bit. This one needed just a little more contrast here and there. Now it is done!#blaven #blabheinn #Scotland #loves_scotland #scottishhighlands #landscape_lovers #nature #adventure #mountains #goclimb #postcardstomyself #watercolor #portland #pdx #pdxart #wip #workinprogress #greatoutdoors #getoutside #hillwalking #mountaineering #naturelovers #qotd #quote #edwardabbey

I’ve been wrestling with how best to shoot these larger paintings. The little easel that worked so well for the smaller postcard size isn’t cutting it for me (even though I love that little easel). So, I’m experimenting with a tighter shot in landscape format. Painting 4 of #100daysofscottishlandscapes. Suilven inspired by @finspark123. 8”x10” matted and framed. #watercolorpainting #suilven #sugarloaf #munros #hillwalking #scottishhighlands #scotland #loves_scotland #landscape_lovers #landscape_painters #naturelovers #pdx #pdxart #portland #portlandart #redo

Day 20 of #100daysofscottishlandscapes. Blà Bheinn or Blaven on the Isle of Skye inspired by @celtic__wanderer. So, this is one of those times where the painting might be done but I'm too tired to see what it is I'm looking at. So rather than skip over an important part of the artistic process – stepping back – I will figure it out tomorrow with fresh . #blaven #blabheinn #Scotland #loves_scotland #scottishhighlands #landscape_lovers #nature #adventure #mountains #goclimb #postcardstomyself #watercolor #portland #pdx #pdxart #wip #workinprogress #greatoutdoors #getoutside #hillwalking #mountaineering #naturelovers

Day 19 of #100daysofscottishlandscapes. Blà Bheinn or Blaven on the Isle of Skye inspired by @celtic__wanderer. Another layer of washes this eve. I was thinking today that I'm having so much fun with these mountains because they're like a jigsaw puzzle. I haven't done a puzzle in over a year now. It's time to get another one. Once I do a puzzle I won't do it again which seems a waste but it's not a surprise anymore. My favorite puzzles to do are paintings of American folklore…and dinosaurs. What are yours?#blaven #blabheinn #Scotland #loves_scotland #scottishhighlands #landscape_lovers #nature #adventure #mountains #goclimb #postcardstomyself #watercolor #pencildrawing #sketch #portland #pdx #pdxart #wip #workinprogress #greatoutdoors #getoutside #hillwalking #goclimb #mountaineering #fractals #pattern #naturelovers #puzzles
