My husband and I are working on a collaborative project. When he takes a photo that inspires me I do a painting of it. The last 2 peices that I blogged about were part of this project as well as 2 others that I blogged about in the past.  I thought you might like to see the photos next to the paintings. We’re going to present our idea to galleries and see what they think. It’s a cool idea because the photos are art in and of themselves and the drawings are art in and of themselves. When you see them side by side you see the beauty and uniqueness of each piece and each style of art. They compliment each other and together become a new and original form of art. So here you go. The photos next to the drawings. 

Last night I finnished my 3rd painting in my Zion’s park series. I enjoyed this one while I was working on the rock itself but the trees were not as fun. I like to use watercolor to paint trees but that just wasn’t practical on this one since they were close up pine trees. Pencil made more sense and they turned out just fine. They just took a long time and it was rather tedious work. Oh well, all’s well that ends well and I think this came out quite nicely. I’ll try to get a better photo up as soon as I can. The sky is actually blue all the way across!
