When my daughters and
I climbed to the Opabin Plateau in 2009, I sketched the surrounding mountains
and plotted the locations on an
interactive Google map of the area, These
sketches reflected the weather that day (a little) more accurately than today’s
painting.
I’ve put this painting, which has sunlight
and shadows I found in other photos of the Opabin plateau, on my Pinterest board, Living the Dream, together with a photo of me starting the sketch. In that photo there is mysteriously little sunlight and shadow... (It had just
stopped raining and everything, including my hair, is soaking wet.) I haven't actually explained that on the
Pinterest board – which contains location paintings and photos of the artists
painting (or at least starting) them on location – but I thought I would mention it here on my blog.
