I find working from photographs quite enjoyable and convenient, specially in winter. I know that there are artists that prefer 'plain aire' work - I'm not there yet...Also, there are places I want to paint that I don't have access to at this time, like Europe. Maybe one day I can take a painting tour to Tuscany, who knows? That would be something!
I use my own photographs, or published works in books or travel magazines.
This painting I did from a photo I took myself on a trip to Nova Scotia with my sister. The place is called Peggy's Cove, truly delightful.
Painted on 11" x 14" Strathmore Pastel paper with Faber-Castell Polychroms hard pastels. This painting belongs to a private collector.
