This painting was loosely inspired by a trip my husband and I took to Aravaipa Canyon last year. The water was slow moving, but around the rocks it looked like it was speeding.
There were all these scrub bushes that had delicate purple blue flowers and huge thorns everywhere. I wish they had been seeding so I could try to grow them, but I just had to put them in a painting. The bush and the water were inspired by our trip.
The cabin is one that turns up from time to time in my art, I think I want to live there one day. It's just a small two room affair with a huge fire place. I can see it clearly in my mind. It's my mental happy place.
Can you find the cat in the picture?
That looks like a truly beautiful spot.
ReplyDeleteI am ashamed to say that I cannot see the cat (hint please).
Thank you! It's near the water. Good luck!
DeleteFound. I had thought it was a rock in dappled sunshine. I really, really need new glasses.
DeleteNo glasses needed. It's kind of hidden. :)
DeleteIt looks like a beautiful, peaceful place. How nice that you are able to capture it in a painting you create!
ReplyDeleteNice landscape! Oil? Acrylic?
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's acrylic on a canvas panel. They're much easier to frame than canvases. It's 11x14, so it's a good size. Once I varnish it'll go in my etsy shop.
