The light was fading. I thought, O.K. work fast and see what happens. One way to stay loose. The hills were glowing one second, the next they were not. Breathing better with a brush in my hand.

These photos are from a couple of days ago. I noticed that the shadows have changed on the highest hills. You can see part of the rock juts out at the very top, and the shadow on the right rear is much larger. The earth has moved. I played with the sky in Photoshop, but I can see now, I over did it.  Better than grey though.

Did a blah, quick piece yesterday. Played with filters in Photoshop, and I like it better now.

      Thanks for that Carol. I thought the originals were a bust, so glad you like them. 🙂 Glad you enjoy seeing the mountains as much as I do 🙂

    Like them both and your fabric design too! When do you sleep Sheila?! I would love to see you do that same view, on the same paper, with the same brush and use acrylics. Working fast just like your watercolour. I am thinking back to the acrylic paintings you did during the January 30in30 and they were great. Love your watercolours!!

    Again I don’t know how you get anything done, I’d be looking out the window all the time. They are so awesome and then add in the sky, well…. Ok found your fabric swatch – started at the top and then about half way I remembered who I was looking for and how she works – so scrolled to the bottom and there you were. Sheila, this is another whole new world. I don’t think I have that in me, but I am going to keep looking at it as there are some fabulous ideas on there. Have a good one.

      So glad you enjoy the view too Nelvia 🙂 Thanks so much for taking the time to vote! They place the designs randomly, and it is different each time. It’s so much fun to see what everyone comes up with. So many possibilities 🙂 Happy creating to you 🙂

      I didn’t notice right away, or maybe it just happened. I am interested to know how long the shadow will grow. Edgy – that is a good word for them! Enjoy your day too Val. Hope all the snow has melted 🙂

    Really fun to see what the Photoshop filter is able to do. Love how it disperses the linework. Thanks for a pop of color and flowers as I start my day! I am mentally plopping that simplicity and festivity on my desk for the day 🙂
