Update 28 September 2025: I just realized that the above mountains may actually be the Green Mountains up in Lincoln, Vermont and not the Adirondack Mountains. A photo posted on the 24th are the same location. I will check my folders for time and dates.

The search continues for a photograph to paint for a blog series this year. Painting them all is a thought. Asking myself what am I looking for, my answer is clearly that I will know when I see it.
In this selection, my heart goes wide viewing the first picture. The chicory tucked in the maple leaves has a cute kitten vibe.
The last photo feels to me like taking in a big breath of crisp autumn air on a frosty morning.
As a painting, out of all the images posted thus far, The Green Mountains, is my favorite.
i know that feeling...when you know, you know!! all of these images are so pretty. the colors are outstanding. i look forward to seeing your paintings!!
ReplyDeleteDebbie,
DeleteIt is like shopping for shoes or a dress.The Green Mountains photo has always been on my mind. In vistas like that, bringing that expanse of beauty onto a canvas is a real challenge.

I love the first photo but I think it might be a real challenge to paint (but what do I know, not being a painter).
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
DeleteI agree. The first photo is not an easy one for sure. A watercolor would be nice though because a lot can be edited.

I love that one too!
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
DeleteI am sure that is the image I will paint for the series. I plan to do the rough color sketch on the canvas today. It is the largest size canvas I have, 3 feet by something.
