Sometimes the most inspiring scenes are encountered in the most mundane of places. At this city park, I used rougher and wetter paper with Chinese brushes to challenge myself. At the same time, I emphasized the feeling of walking among the golden fall cottonwoods, rather than an accurate representation of what was actually there. By letting my imagination lead the way, I feel strongly connected to this painting!
