It's Like Having to Pick Your Favorite Child - In recent years, I’ve found myself drawn to painting marshes. I haven’t been around as many marshes as I have mountains but the lowlands can be as beautiful as the higher altitudes. However, they are deceptively simple looking but challenging landscapes for me to paint. What could be so hard about painting a little bit of water, maybe a little bit of sky, and a lot of land? Simple right? I think my problem is that I have to pick one of these to focus on to make it a more successful painting and it’s like being asked which is your favorite child. :)
