THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED

I have been working hard to improve my painting using the good instructions from Stapleton Kearn's blog.

I am grateful to him for being so generous with his knowledge! I think I have made some progress.

Another thing I did, which was because of his urging his readers to do so, was to purchase three new brushes. For the most part, mine should have been thrown away long, long ago. They'd been danced to death!

And, I bought myself a couple of spanking new canvases. Lately, I've been painting over old bad paintings.

Now....about the painting that I am sharing with you today.

There was a wonderful time when my husband wasn't a long distance trucker and he was home every weekend. We'd get in the car and just take off. Gas was cheaper then. We wore that car out traveling the back roads of Southeastern Arizona. On one such trip, obviously in Autumn, we came across this beautiful spot.

I miss those days of wandering the desert with my best traveling companion.  The many roads less traveled which we chose provided us with incredibly wonderful memories.  And it was during those travels when my husband first began to encourage me to try my hand at painting.

I'll be grateful to him forever for that.
