Easter was quiet at our house. We shared a nice breakfast and the newspaper, and spent time putting together our gear for an upcoming trip. Then later in the afternoon I decided to play around with adapting a photo I took and altered from our 2016 trip to Yellowstone. I had a couple goals: to play around with the colors and composition, and to use up a 12x24 inch piece of watercolor paper that had been prepped a couple years ago, but never used.
So, I did this all in one go, with acrylic paint and fairly large brushes. It's certainly more dramatic than the original photograph was.
I think I've worked out enough in my mind to try the same subject in oil on canvas later.
