I decided to paint a scene from Mt. Bonnell this time as my farewell to Austin painting. If you look @ my old article here about the painting "Waiting" (of the 360 bridge) you will see why I chose this image. (The wait is over!)
For some reason this one is having a slow start.
Musical inspiration of the day: KLOVE Christian radio.
So my wet painting fell facedown on my driveway today. I guess it was God's way of telling me it needs more texture.
Musical inspiration of the day: The Word radio station- sermons. Also KLOVE Christian radio.
I worked on the hills, the trees and shrubbery on the right, and I also started working on the itty bitty houses. I turned the sky orange with the idea that I would later paint blue over it when it drys, but I don't know now because it sort of made the whole painting come alive for me. So we'll see what happens.
A painting, like life, is a series of decisions and reactions.
PS- this is the first time I have ever painted my butt. :)

I added more houses today and painted myself (the figure) and added some more dark green contrast behind me. Oh and I put the 360 bridge in too.

I painted the rocks today. I added a lot of contrast but I am not completely done with all of them yet though.

I added some tiny houses and trees in the middle today. They are frustrating me a little...
Musical inspiration of the day: KLOVE
I changed the color on the left shoreline. I also added some boat ramps and such in the water. On the right, I made the trees darker. The trees on the left are still not the right color though. More to do tomorrow I suppose.
Musical inspiration of the day: KLOVE (I have been lazy on my musical selection lately. I need some new tunes I suppose.)
I changed the color on the left shoreline again. I still need to change the color of the road and the houses on the left though. I added some driveways to the houses on the right and put a boat in the lake.
Musical inspiration of the day: I found some of my brother's tapes from the 80's! I listened to his "All time classics" tape which included- INXS, Bobby Brown, the Bangles, and more. I also listened to KLOVE for a while.
I worked on a lot of little things today. Mainly on the houses and the road on the left. More work to do, but the end is near.
Musical inspiration of the day: More 80's/ early 90's tapes including Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and some mix tapes that included artists such as MC Hammer and Don Henley. Rock on.
