and came up with the light effect. Enjoy! ED

Painting is like fishing

Sunday Feb 13th got up to paint looked like an
over cast uninspiring day. I threw my paints
and easel into the car and stopped for coffee on
my way up to the mountains. Temperature was
19° we walked over the ice crusted snow on near
the river edge. I was glad to capture this moment
on this day. You never know. Painting is like fishing.
Enjoy! ED

Painting From Memory

Coming home from work heading north on rt 287
I noticed out my car window a beautiful thing happening.
The warm air from the sun setting was hitting the cold air.
Creating a special effect that only mother nature could produce.
I was powerless to stop or take a picture so I took the snap shot
with my mind. I sketched it as I remembered it in the studio
last night. Enjoy!-Ed
