"Q" is a tough one! Can you guess what this is?
In the spirit of doing something challenging for the 30 in 30, decided to tackle a wonderful photo my husband took of a beautiful walking path near here. Us city-folk need the path to be made of asphalt, but outside of that, trees are trees. . . . It is a beautiful photo, so very serene with the dappled sunlight, I just couldn't resist. Looking at the photo, you can almost hear the silence and serenity of the meandering path even though it is only a block away from Main Street.
To explain, I seem to be missing the "landscape" gene
despite several runs at it. Even took a
few classes and still can't find a
way to simplify the massive amount of detail in a scene like this. I loved the plein air journey - pack up all
your stuff, drive far away, hike out to some beautiful spot in the middle of
nowhere, have wine and cheese, commune with nature, paint, etc. BUT, it just
ain't happening for moi! I'll keep
trying, so look for another update in five years or so . . . . Today I found out one of my favorite artist/teachers is doing a landscape workshop so signed up for that - maybe it will help.
