I ran across this photo on a website where photographers post photos that
artists may use copyright free. It is called PMP or Paint My Photo.
HERE is a link to their website.
They have an abundance of photos from all over the world taken by people
who have traveled or wish to share their photos
with others.
I have been very impressed with the quality of the photos.
Many of them pay close attention to lighting
conditions which are so important
for artists.
It was fun to work on a landscape for a change.
It's not an area in which I am proficient.
I know it would help to do more of them so I would get better, right?
Yes.
A lovely, lovely landscape. I like the angle ot looking up and thru those skyholes into infinity.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great start to my day!
I blinked, rubbed my eyes and blinked again when i saw your name, Carol. It has been a while. I consider this a christmas gift.
Julie, what a great way to start my day with your thoughtful and generous comments. You are so kind to "hang in there" with my absence. I have been enjoying your beautiful paintings as ever. It sounds like you're geared up to take fracturing to a new level. Can't wait!
Deleteyes you are right Carol, the more you paint the better you get. What a lovely blue the flowers are, are they lupins?
ReplyDeleteI really need to make painting a more frequent commitment, Diana! I lost the momentum somewhere along the line, but I do love painting and need to advance my skills. Thank YOU for producing such excellent work. I am inspired every time I see yours.
ReplyDeleteI just love blue flowers and this 'carpet ' of blue is really captivating. Also I like the perspective ,looking from down and up is an unusual angle, but very efficacious ! Thank you for the link , I will check it out, sounds interesting .
ReplyDeleteHi Jane,
DeleteI like your term "carpet of blue" because that is really what it looks like when a field is covered with single colored flowers or a field with multi-colored flowers. Beautiful either way. I imagine you might have many wildflowers in the springtime where you live because of all the sun you have.
Such a beautiful painting Carol. It reminds me of when I visited Texas and saw SO many beautiful fields of blue!!! I even bought seeds to take home with me!!!! Well! Blue Bonnets don’t do well on Long Island... lol. I’m glad to see you posting again...it’s been too long!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou were very fortunate to see Blue Bonnets in person. I've always wanted to travel to Texas during the season to catch the beauty of these flowers! Some photos of them I've seen are utterly stunning. I don't know, Hilda, if they would grow here either. It gets so hot in the summer.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words. And, thank you for motivating me. Your works are always an inspiration!!
Dear Carol - what a lovely painting. Such a beautiful sight for those of living through gray days this time of the year. Have a lovely Christmas. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debbie, for your kind remark. We've been lucky of late to have sunny skies each day. Nights are cold, but that's what blankets are for. I hope you and your family have a beautiful Christmas. Blessings to you, Debbie for your good heart and generous caring.
DeleteSo glad you are painting and posting again! So sorry to read about your fall—hope you are fully recovered and able to hike and travel again. Your painting is lovely and bluebonnets will abound here in the spring!
ReplyDeleteI am pretty much recovered, Lorraine. Lost some ground physically, but I can do most of what I want to do. I hope your Christmas was wonderful and I hope the new year will bring many blessings to you. I look forward to your posts this year as I have missed you and your thoughtful ideas!
DeleteThat little painting packs a big punch! And thank you for the website - I will definitely check it out!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan. I hope you can find something you'd like to paint. I look forward to your next project!
