Gouache in the Valley of the Gods

We took a little jaunt through Southern Utah and Colorado this summer. I can't even begin to describe the beauty and wonders we saw, but I can say that it could influence what I paint for years!  Here's a little gouache piece of the Valley of the Gods in Utah. Again, too dark, but I keep trying. One day...

Gouache Practice

Painting with gouache is still difficult, but I keep trying. Recently, I tried the same subject twice for practice. It's still darker than I'd like, but I felt I learned from them.

Not masterpieces, but better than past efforts. And fun to do. A delightful, maddening medium.

Since November??

Yeah, it's been since November that I posted here. Time flies sometimes, and the past 8 months or so have really flown by. However, I haven't been totally idle creatively. Here's a little piece I did in May that brings me joy.
