Rocky Mountain Front in the background…
On our little picturesque stop, I snapped a few shots of the grasses in the late afternoon light. I loved the shapes, textures, and color of the grasses.
Working from my memory (ahemmm) ~ here is my interpretation of that scene, as drawn and water-colored in my sketchbook.
I’m still having a love attachment with my wite-out pen… and little dots of white. I can’t seem not to want to add them to my drawings!
Although not so similar to the actual photograph, it provides me with a continuing education ~ to learn to look at the ordinary things for creative inspiration. I’m thinking I may do it again… only this time with more mountainous background… we shall see!
I have been much more dedicated in spending time in my sketchbook this summer. I have found that the materials {the right ones} make all the difference in my affinity for the sketching… and I loved making it… and can’t wait to transfer some of these sketchy ideas to the quilted cloth!
Let’s Do It!!
EnJOY~Soli Deo Gloria!

I like it even more if it is spelt correctly!!!!
So lovely Leslie. "…to learn to look at ordinary things for cretive inspiration" Love that line.
Wow!!! This is sooooo beautiful and the photo of the tall grass (or wheat) was absolutely stunning!!!
Very nice! Your interpretation is lovely. I especially like the golds and blues. I think that's what attracts me in art, the artists vision, not what is actually seen through the camera. Although of course there are photographers who take artistic photos.
I guess I'm trying to say I like your artistic voice.
And, I've got to pick up one of those white out pens.
love your interpretation…
You have DONE it! Wonderfully captured the grass. I need to try another white out pen. Mine doesn't seem to want to flow properly. Or I should try on different surface. Yay for prairie grass and I don't mean that stuff on my lawn that always needs cutting! Beautiful post, Les.
