Paint for Peaks Snowboard
February 19, 2013
Once again I have painted a snowboard for the Paint for Peaks Art Auction, which raises money for breast cancer awareness. The auction will take place this Saturday in the Taos Ski Valley.
This is my first real painting since having a baby. The most difficult part was getting started because I had to change my way of working. Once I began the painting flowed and I really enjoyed myself most of the time. During the creation of each art work I experience ebbs and flows of effort and results.
I had the image in my mind of what I wanted the board to look like. It never turns out like I imagine, but I am pleased with the results. It has a calm, peaceful stillness which I experience while being in nature when it is snowing.
Unfortunately I am not a very good photographer. The original work does not have any color in the ski except grey snowflakes.
