“Find your truth” was the advice
that Stan Sperlak gave us as we ended our September plein air workshop with
him. He was encouraging us to find and focus on what we love if we wanted to
become successful painters. Out of all of the valuable advice he gave us, for
some reason that message really hit home. I like painting all sorts of subjects
but there are certain things that I absolutely love and today’s painting is of
one of these subjects. I love dramatic mountains!
This is a painting I just finished
yesterday of an area in Scotland, west of Edinburgh and south of Fort William.
One of the books I have describes it as, “a world of deadly crags and killer mountains”
(National Geographic Traveler). For some people, that description would
ensure that they stayed away but for me it’s one of the many reasons I wanted
to visit there. It sounded like an exciting place. I have to admit as well,
that I had seen a photo before I visited and it showed what I was lucky enough
to see for myself, it’s an absolutely gorgeous area!
