Path to the Good View

sold. all proceeds went to Hurricane Harvey victims

I raided my old landscape photos for this one. The scene is from Sedona, during a trip with my friend Penny. On this particular evening we were running around frantically trying to find a place to paint before the sun set completely. I ended up taking photos instead.

I've been so busy this summer I haven't gotten out much to paint landscapes in person. I've decided not to feel bad about this and that it was important to tell you. ; ) I do enjoy it, especially with friends, but this summer I have found myself more compelled by things inside. Someday, when my son is older, and I can travel more easily, I will be out there more often.

I took the photo for this one years ago, in Sedona, AZ. My friend Penny and I were scoping out plein air locations for the next day, and for some reason that I can't remember, we were running around like crazy doing it. I never thought I'd use the photo, even though I really liked it, because it didn't seem dramatic enough. But I've been looking for subtlety lately, and this called out to me.
