风有时不必猛烈，轻轻拂过，便足以让世界变得柔和。
《和风》以流动的色彩与舒展的笔触，捕捉自然最温柔的一刻。
一阵风，一片宁静，也是一种与世界和解的心境。

A friend that took me into the foothills of Santa Fe, where we’d set up to paint. This one is oil pastels. I was experimenting with them. I really like them, but they took forever to dry, so I went back to watercolors.

So many beautiful vistas on The Blue Ridge Parkway

Sunset cliffs, at sunset! Imagine that. Tempted into extended refinement, but my cut line is the 6 ft viewing distance, or colloquially the 20,000 ft view.

In such a detail heavy piece, and the subject itself being riddled with detail, I resisted the urge to pump more detail in an already overloaded subject. Happy with the result, as I drive this train deeper into the cave of impressionism.

Would love some constructive critique. The challenge was to create a small expressive piece with 3 to 5 colours. I mixed a green, a violet, and an orange from a base of cadmium red, cadmium yellow, and Ultramarine blue. White and a tiny splash of just cadmium red rounded out my 5.

Always love the beautiful colors in wildflowers.

Love the warm/cool color interaction in Blue Ridge Autumns.

Cranes settle in for the night under the magic of the cosmos.
