Painting # 71 - I went to a Fall Landscape workshop on Saturday thinking that I'd come home with a fully completed painting - 18 hours later.... here's where I'm at. I'm struggling with the trees. A part of me just wants to say, "accept the painting as is", and another part says, "fix those trees!!!" I like the tiny spot on top of the hill. I hope my viewers wonder about what's on the other side.

Painting #70 - This painting was also in response to the call out for submissions that depict the Elton John songs performed with the Alberta Ballet piece titled, Love Lies Bleeding. This time I choose to represent the song, Rocket Man. This is the first time I ever painted the cosmos and I have to admit I really liked the painting before I added the glowing piano and ballet dancers. I like my decision to add the music notes from Rocket Man up in the sky.
