A nice place to relax within an easy drive from Alamosa; dirt road is sketchy in places though. This view is from the Bluff Overlook. I drew this on my iPad.
Behind the scenes – Preview
Here is a sneak preview of a big watercolor I started today. This piece is kind of an “experiment.” I’ve never painted a watercolor this big (30x22in; 76x56cm). I’m also applying the paint in a way that combines watercolor and oil painting. Unlike watercolor,
-
I am not painting big areas of solid color.
-
I am mixing some colors on the paper (not before I use them).
-
My painting is standing upright instead of lying down.
The last point is interesting and has caused me to make some adjustments; mainly not using as much water as I normally would over a large area. All of this combines to give it a different “look.” We shall see what happens.
Happy New Year!!!!!
Almost 2016 in Oregon – towards the end of the new year cycle. Happy 2016 to all of my friends around the world who have already celebrated. This image is one of travel. Who know what the new year will bring?

I will soon send my email subscribers the hi-resolution digital version of my slightly eccentric 2016 calendar.
It’s 5×7 inches and can be printed.
I am going to tack mine up as a reminder that the year never goes as planned.
A small preview is below.
