Studio 365: Day 106
Today’s painting from the studio is in anticipation of our trip to Arizona, Utah and Nevada. We leave tomorrow for Phoenix, which means Studio 365 will be on the road for the next ten days. In order to keep to my goal of a post from the studio each day throughout the year I am designating my laptop and camera my mobile studio until we return on the 27th. Nothing like a trip however to make you tidy up before leaving!
A little about today’s painting: acrylic and plaster on canvas 78″ x 64″. Once the plaster was dry the rock faces were created with a combination of sandpaper, chisels (my late father’s) and a little imagination.

Returning from Victoria to Vancouver this evening on the BC Ferry Coastal Renaissance passing through Active Pass, with the glow of the setting sun reflected on the Coastal Celebration on its way to Victoria. Orange you glad I had my iPhone with me!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Reward
On today’s Weekly Photo Challenge Krista asks ” What does reward mean to you?”
The answer is found in this gallery of photos taken after our six day trek to Machu Picchu in June 2013. Arriving in the early morning of the seventh day, with the sun’s rays illuminating a scene that can best be described as theatrical in its beauty, was a moment of pure magic and the beginning of a never-to-be-forgotten day of wonder and amazement.
