Title forgotten, but done around 2011 as well. Based on another photo of the Montana countryside. I think I just loved the way that the movement of the hill flowed with the clouds at the time. How the shadows hit the cliffside.

This is a very special piece that is not for sale. But worth sharing. Everyday for a about a year or two, my late husband and I would drive past this spot on the Yellowstone River. He told me one day that this was his favorite spot before on the river. Where the sun glistened just beautifully for him. With the Crazy Mountains behind, Sheep Mountain and the Absorokee Mountains around that corner in the distance, it was indeed magical. Since his birthday was in October, I made this quick sketch of the Yellowstone for his birthday. He enjoyed this drawing for the last two years of his life. This one I am keeping.
From a photo off of the southern Oregon coast near the seaside town of Brookings. This was my first attempt at trying to make a pen behave more like a brush or pencil than a pen. Not my best piece, but worth sharing.
15 x 20 inches total on illustration board. Done with a Pilot G- Tec-C3/0.3 size fine tipped black ink pen.

One day, driving through Montana westward, I saw this amazing light in a set of thunderclouds in the distance. I pulled the car over off the highway and took several photos of the beautiful lighting. Later at home, I manipulated the photo with different levels of saturations and settings. The results were even better. I had to eventually paint it. Even if it meant using cheap watercolors, which I ended up doing. Would love to eventually try this again with better quality paints in a larger format.
Due to circumstances in my life, I still do not have a studio, but I finally do have a table to use for simple, relatively non-messy works. Translations? Small works with watercolor and pencils only. There is something good about small works of art. You have to get up close and intimate with the piece to understand all it is trying to say. This is especially true with this small but powerful watercolor. It is stunning close up. More to see than my cell phone was able to capture here in the photo.
