Day 69/100 of #100superviewsinscotland. Mamores inspired by @davidjamesduncan. I realized today that I'm approaching the half year mark of painting daily postcards of Scotland. Some days I wonder what else should I paint? When I'm tired I go for the beaches because they're simple and easier these days. I noticed I've been avoiding the mountains because they're really hard. This one tonight kicked my butt. But, I'd like to get to the point where the mountains are easy and then there's something else that will push me to grow more as a painter. Have I ever mentioned that both Alfred and William (the son) Heaton Cooper are my watercolor landscape idols? I don't know many because I studied Dutch and Flemish art and the abstract expressionists…well…Turner is one but I don't know many. Anyway, taking on landscape this year as a challenge to try something new and learn about a place I love I found their work and am trying to learn from it. #mamores #hillwalking #lochaber #scottishhighlands #landscape #adventure #scotland #explorescotland #loves_scotland #studiolife #postcardstomyself #watercolor #painting #portland #portlandart #pdx #heatoncooper
