"Thanks" Where "Thanks" Belongs


To quote one of my favorite artists, Dan McCaw, "Art is a collaboration between the heart and mind in an effort to expose a piece of the artist's soul." I'm not sure about all of that but somewhere between my head and my hand is a place that loves to paint, my heart. I have to give the glory to my Lord, Jesus Christ, and thanks to Him for the ability He's given me, to Nick for his encouragement, to Dan McCaw for his inspiration and my mom, Peggy Pettit, who thinks I can do anything (gotta love those moms!). But, let's leave the exposed soul to the Master, shall we?

The Anniversary Road

While on our anniversary trip to Santa Fe we headed down this gravel road.  The trees were leaning into each other. I like that so I painted them.  (using all I've learned from Leonard Wren)

The next picture is the painting after I edited it in light of Mr. Wren's advice...what do you think? The picture is a bit brighter because of a different camera setting but other than that, can you tell where the changes were made?
