For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever." And this is the word that was preached to you. (1 Peter 1:24,25 NIV) . These are cottonwood trees that grow next to rivers near here. In autumn their leaves become golden yellow. The elk are from some separate photos that I added into the scene. I took the photo for the trees a couple of months ago, but when I passed by them a few weeks later all of the leaves had fallen off. . . . #art #painting #traditionalart #realism #Coloradoartist #goldenleaves #cottonwood #contemporaryrealism #oilpainting #oilonpaper #Colorado #colorfulcolorado #elk #smallart #mgraham #limitedpalette #sunlit #newart #originalart #autumnleaves #autumncolors

This painting is from a photo that I posted just over a year ago. It started as a gouache painting on heavy watercolor paper, but I decided to coat it with acrylic medium and repaint it with oils. Having the gouache underpainting helped a lot because I already knew where everything should be. . . . #smallpainting #traditionalart #oilpainting #oilonpaper #Colorado #coloradoartist #colorfulcolorado #mountainart #art #painting #mgraham #limitedpalette #lightandshadow #coloradoriver #smallart #canyon #rockymountains #mountainartist #sunlit #travel #newart #originalart

This is drawn from a photo of a dove that I took recently. It had somehow gotten into an indoor tropical conservatory. . . . #pentel #orenz #graphgear #mechanicalpencil #artstudy #dove #animalart #animalartist #graphitedrawing #academicart #worksonpaper #natureart #animalportrait #birddrawing #birdart #contemporaryrealism #freehanddrawing #sketchbook #artjournal #realism #moleskine #moleskineart

Here’s the finished tiger painting. This time, instead of using gouache or a white pen like usual, I carefully cut away the surface of the paper to make the whiskers. It was an interesting experiment that worked well. . . . #tiger #tigerart #watercolor #aquarelle #relaxing #animalart #animalartist #painting #animalpainting #tigersketch #contemporaryrealism #realism #art #smallpainting #wildlifeart #holbein #fabriano #worksonpaper #natureartist #denverzoo
