Starting to paint larger

And a glorious Nebraska sunrise

The brilliant pink and purple clouds sing in the morning light. My feet quickly hit the pavement, I still have 20 minutes to reach the viewpoint.

On the way, a partial rainbow glows against dark grey clouds to the west.

At the top of the hill, the view opens in all directions. The wild places between the neatly groomed fields are lit by the dawn. Trees follow the winding paths drawn by streams, and wild sunflowers glow an intense yellow.

Inhaling slowly and deeply, I let the calm, quiet morning seep into my bones.

And a brilliant day early this fall:

Next steps towards high-quality photographs of my artwork

I'm thrilled with the lighting setup that was custom built for my studio:

It was super helpful for even lighting when photographing these larger pieces:

I hope your week has treated you very well!

Sending my love,
