This was the landscape that I was supposed to be painting instead of a dusty old Corona bottle. What WAS I thinking? In her moleskin, I wanted to surprise Michelle Burnett by doing a portrait of one of her painting buddies, Tracy, and feature some of the beautiful country around Helper, Utah. What a coincidence to be attending a workshop with Michelle's lovely friend, who was a lot of fun to be around. The world can be such a small place.

What a great sketch for Michelle's moleskine! Lovely Vern.
ReplyDeleteLovely, and by the way, I really liked that dusty old Corona bottle...........
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Vern! The vast expanse of landscape shows up well.
ReplyDeleteOh my, that's a lot of rock/rock like problems to overcome and you've done so beautifully. I follow Rusty Jones' blog, he just spent some time at the Grand Canyon, today's posting includes a photo of him painting: http://wwwrustyjonesstudiocom.blogspot.com/, it reminds me of your beautiful painting here.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun surprise for Michelle to have a painting of her friend...great job Vern!
ReplyDeleteLike all your people and places. Found this one to be especially great.
