Red Rocks

Happy Saturday!

 

"Red Rocks #1", oil on canvas, 9x12

 

Last August my husband & I had the opportunity to explore Colorado Springs area for several days, one of the places we visited was The Garden of The Gods where the rocks were so majestic & beautiful....we went there twice, once in the afternoon (close to sunset) and the following day in the morning. Both times the views were so spectacular!

 

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends!

I can't believe tomorrow is December 1st.

 

Thank you for visiting my blog.

"Laura"

Happy Friday, everyone!

 

"Laura", oil on canvas, 16x20

 

This painting was done at Mainstreet Art School in Lake Zurich, IL, during an open studio session last Wednesday night (11.13.13) .

Our model was Laura, a very pretty high school girl with long wavy dark brown hair.

I painted her with 4 colors (cadmium red medium, yellow ochre, ultramarine blue & ivory black) and my goal was "to just have fun with color & shape"!

It was fun indeed working with other artists.... I was glad that I made the trip even though it was quite a cold night.

 

Thank you for visiting my blog and have a great weekend!
