nature walk

                               11x15

Took a walk a couple of weekends ago to look for eagle nests, and we found some--staying very far away; getting close could make the eagles abandon the nest--and saw a pair bringing nesting material to it. I love walking when it's cold out.

I got a few nice pictures, and am getting around to trying to figure out how to paint them.

I try to convert what I'm looking at into shapes, but it's fifficult when the edges are hard to define.

And I've exaggerated the color--so much so it looks like springtime!

Still trying to figure out how to paint distant trees! I want that smoky effect I so often see.
