This delightful scene is one I came upon in my travels on Google maps. This was for my monthly adventures with the
Virtual Paintout. This month it was Summit County, Co. Home to Breckenridge Ski slopes. This fun little tableau was on a slope to the west of Breckenridge some where. I had to zoom in on it to get this close and cut off lots of just snow in the foreground and lots of trees along the sides and back. Although that looked nice too!
I took a big breathe and painted online with this little guy. Streamed on ustream. It was fun having a few friends stop in and chat with me while I painted. Although I admit, at times I stopped painting and just chatted! Slowed the process down a bit, but was great fun! I had to finish the nibbley bits off line as I couldn't work around the camera.
I want to thank Barb Pask for giving me some tips about the snow and Debra Bryant for talking to me about the dreaded "red". Those were such helpful tips. And thanks to my new "fans" and friends for hanging out and in with me as I made it through this first session. Those that watched later too!!
Ever onward my chatty friends.
PS... yes, I do believe they noticed!
You did a great job with your new painting show! You get an A+ for courage! It all becomes easier from here... :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Debra. And it was a delight having you join in the fun of the first show with Barb, and Nina at the very end there. This was an adventure to be sure, and I'll be looking forward to the next. I guess I'm in the "rotation" now!
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job on the snow, Laura! It looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm glad you think so Renate! I don't know from snow except a little bit here every few years and what I see in photos. I just painted what I saw.
