Sunrise over Mt. Hood

My sister has requested a silhouette painting from each of her sisters, and this is what I painted for her.  I hope she likes it.

It's patterned after the photo below, which I took in March 2012 from Scappoose.

P.S. the dark is not black and up close you can see the shapes.  It didn't photograph very well.

No picture right now.....I just wanted to suggest to our blog followers and guild members to check out this link, http://studioatelier.blogspot.com/   and perhaps to become an active participant as a way to keep in practice if you are a painter or a sketch artist. ....especially if you are in a rut...and don't know what to paint or draw.  I even submitted one carved in leather once....the rules to posting are on the Studio Atelier blog. Barb Benik of Studio Atelier will begin with a new picture after the new year.  However, she will accept your images of past posted challenge photos too.  It helps to keep your creative juices flowing.
Happy Painting.

Two weeks ago we spent a week in E. Oregon along the banks

of the Imnaha River.  This pen and watercolor sketch of the

huge granite boulders was done from the riverbank near our campsite
