During my summer in New Mexico I was able to schedule a few photo sessions with a few locals, in hopes to add to my library of references for potential paintings. And this painting is the first result of one of those sessions! I really enjoyed working with Emma to create some interesting photo references for future paintings. I especially loved the photos near the end of a cliff that had an amazing view. I really enjoyed photographing her in front of the trees and plants that created an interesting and dynamic backdrop.
I’m planning on creating plenty more paintings from these photo sessions but I just had to share this great piece with you all! It’s titled “Finding Distance” and is available to purchase in my shop for $300!
