We've got a lot of old family photos from camping trips. Thanks for the comments on the painting Christine. This one really came together nicely in the end. My birthday was a pretty fun one this year even considering the high digits! haha Thanks!!Ron Guthriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173474868558565132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35145936.post-5796834801578228292012-09-26T08:47:18.753-07:002012-09-26T08:47:18.753-07:00Really beautiful, Ron!

This took 3 days to complete and for 2 and a half days it wasn't working at all, haha. Letting it sit and coming back with fresh eyes finally brought it to the finish line. <br />I'll tell you though, for a while I was having my doubts it was going to work....scary! I blame that vision in my head that is always better than my talent at the moment. I think perserverance was what saved me. Thanks buddy! <br /><br />Hi Diane...I love the desert especially in the evening hours. I've never painted in the southwest i.e. AZ, NM, NV, CO but have travelled throughout the areas...wish I was painting back then. Need to get out there again. Glad you like this one Diane. I think this one is special.Ron Guthriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173474868558565132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35145936.post-71569575839318427372012-09-25T05:55:25.166-07:002012-09-25T05:55:25.166-07:00Ah, Ron, I agree with both posters.

This is a beauty and probably my favorite to date since it speaks to my Southwestern heart.<br /><br />And have a wonderful birthday!!!Diane Cutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17847435040149730066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35145936.post-28516375747762478132012-09-25T05:36:38.119-07:002012-09-25T05:36:38.119-07:00You need a frame quick because this will walk from...You need a frame quick because this will walk from the gallery wall.

It's a nice scene with good subtle afternoon light that I really like painting. <br />The desert is always such a great looking place to capture on canvas and so much inspiration out there too. I really can't get enough of the late afternoon light but have yet to be able to capture it plein air....just not that quick yet...but one day.....Thanks again!
