9x9 pastel and watercolor on Uart paperYesterday, before I left New Mexico I did this one in the juniper field looking up to the foot hills of Sandia Mountain. I love the way the Junipers look like polka dots or in the case, seeds. It's funny I wasn't certain I would post this one...but here it is. Sometimes I get frustrated with myself because I seem to always revert to "my ways" even though I am trying to stretch in other ways. I guess it is like an elastic...stretch and spring back, stretch again....you get the picture. I guess I have to trust that is how it works:-)

Feels expansive and such calming colours. Like a great big sigh. Welcome home!
What a productive time you've had, Loriann! Hope I have half as much to show from my next trip. This is beautiful with nice earth tones and lovely purples in the distance.
I think this is lovely. I love the colors. I think you're absolutely right about the rubber-band nature of our experimentations.
The Grand Rio Grande is my fave, too. Stunning series.
These paintings of New Mexico have been great. I feel like I've been there!
Thanks Leah! It is good to be back.
Hi Brian, My trip was great and I really do wish I could create round the clock, don't you? Thanks for your positive feedback!
Yes Jala,my rubber band sister, it's the nature of learning and pressing forward. Thanks so much for your feedback.
Thanks Casey... I could have painted the Rio Grande for weeks, at least. Maybe next time.
Thanks Janelle, it is sort of like taking a trip together...thanks for coming along. Let me go see what you have been up to.
Stretch and stretch again. I too have that same frustration! This is really pretty, the colors are what keep me coming back!
Why should you fight "your way" when it works soooo well for you? This is beautiful!
Brenda, I guess if we don't stretch we will never grow...so these growing pains are indeed wonderful in their crazy ways. . I know your beautiful work with color so a humble thank you for your positive feedback.
Donna, Thank you. Yes, my ways sometimes work for me, but I do have a constant hunger for MORE. So I stretch. Thank you so much for you wonderful feedback it is always nice to know I can paint sometimes. :-)
