Poudre Canyon Aspen Gate- Pen & Ink

I like to make cards for holidays, birthdays, etc.  So I enjoy experiment with ink, watercolors, and pencils.  I find it makes my paintings better.  I saw this scene in the Poudre Canyon of Colorado.  I almost missed it.  I was on a photo safari with my Dad.  We stopped for the meadow photos and the gate registered in sub-consicious.  I went to walk away and then stopped and looked again and realized I almost missed this shot.  I have done this a couple different ways.  So enjoy!

Welcome to my Blog

Welcome to my blog.  I create art for fun, enjoyment, and a lot of times to preserve my sanity.  I notice the interesting, strange and beautiful around me every day.  Then there is the interesting challenge of figuring out the method and process of capturing the moment or scene.  Above is a scene from Athens, Greece of the Acropolis.  This view took a while to come together.
