A sculpture that mimics waves of nature.  He makes me think of my dad - how he incorporates building, art, science, and math.  These sculptures are so amazing!  I wish I could see the gears working in this artist's head.  Very talented.

As I was browsing videos on Jenny Doh's Crescendoh TV, I found this one to be unique.

Scotland Highlands painting, Part II

Time to paint the mountains!

The dark mountains gave the sky more of a sunset feel.  They were a little tricky because the sun was on the upper half of them, casting a cloudy yellow tone.  I brought each of the colors down into the water for their reflection, adding a bit of white to lighten them.

 

Here was the palette I started with.

 

And here's how it looked after a bit of experimenting and mixing.  I've learned to add a little and pull it to the side.  It helps me see the progress of how I arrived at the color.

 

After I got the basic colors blocked in, I added some dark shadows and lighter highlights.  I'm happy with the progress so far.  It's been slow, but wonderful.
