I don't remember where I took the photo reference for this one, though I'm pretty sure it was somewhere in California. The sun had gone down, so everything was in shadow. I love the challenge of trying to convey the rocks under the water. It's hard. Try it.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "A Beautiful Death"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   6/26/16
 "A Beautiful Death" - 5x7in. -  click here to bid
     
I found this little guy on our doorstep in Taos when I was there painting with friends earlier this year. It reminded me of a series of hand colored photographs by artist Kate Breakey that I saw when I was in college, called "Small Deaths". I like this one in particular. They are even better in person.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Light for Cups"

I have 2 things to report. First, I have new ARTBYTE to announce! It's all about painting white and includes lots of information about how to mix white, mapping out values successfully, exaggerating color so it works, etc. This lesson includes a full demonstration (with voice-over) of the painting above, and applies to any level, oil, acrylic and guache. It's called "What Color IS White?".

Second, we're home! My family very much enjoyed driving through/camping in Montana and Wyoming. We got to see Glacier, the Bighorns, Yellowstone and the Tetons, among other beautiful things. We didn't see any grizzlies or other bears, but we did see a moose and its baby (luckily, from the safety of the Jeep).

I didn't end up painting at all, which was probably for the best. I spent tons of quality time with my family instead. I posted just a few pictures on Instagram, in case you're interested.
