We'll be heading home from Sedona tomorrow morning. Today we drove up to Jerome, an old mining town, now a funky artsy historical and magical place. Wow! There were a million things to paint, and the sun was out!!! I didn't get a chance to shoot my truck painting so I offer the above painted from a photo on my laptop inside the Sedona Art Center yesterday afternoon when a few of us took refuge from the hail. The reference photo is from hills just a few miles from home. I was painting with Lisa McDill that day when 1800 sheep came over the hill. What a sight!
Our workshop ended today with a great critique from Jennifer. Below you can see my work laid out on a board. All in all, it was a great experience painting in good weather and bad, meeting artists from other parts of the country, and learning from such an accomplished painter.
Karen, I have enjoyed your adventure, along with Martha. Your painting, in spite of the weather, was great. Much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a fun time despite the weather. I took a workshop with Jennifer in March in Arizona also and had so much fun! She is certainly inspirational and a fun artist to be around. Love your work also!
ReplyDeleteReally great color and composition.
ReplyDeleteI loved reading about your adventures, and your paintings look great!
ReplyDeleteWe drove through Jerome years ago. I remember that the fronts of the houses came right up to the street, and all the backs of the houses were on stilts. Even the garages were on stilts. I wondered I'd anyone ever drove through the back of their garage and went crashing down the cliffs.
this painting is excellent. I'd never know that you weren't standing there.
ReplyDeleteI am SO looking forward to Jerome and the beautiful scenery in Arizona.
I hope my paintings are as successful as yours.
Beautiful work.
