“Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.” – Ralph Waldo EmersonDay 45, painting 8 of #100daysofscottishlandscapes. Buachaille Etive Mòr inspired by @bryanrv7. The first painting of 2016! I meant to wrap it up yesterday but I may have fallen asleep after sampling some bourbon and whisky. But, that’s okay because starting the new year with this mountain is just right. What a beautiful piece of geology! I like to have my ideal day on the first day of a new year – it sets the tone for the rest of my year – and today was an ideal day with lots of painting, walking and family. I hope you had an ideal day, too!#buachailleetivemor #buachaille #glenetive #Scotland #loves_scotland #scottishhighlands #landscape_lovers #nature #adventure #mountains #goclimb #postcardstomyself #watercolor #portland #pdx #pdxart #pencildrawing #greatoutdoors #getoutside #hillwalking #mountaineering #naturelovers #painteveryday #artshaper #rebeccashapiroart #qotd #emerson #quote
