This is a color photograph of an original 43 Creek Art and Design watercolor painting. It's title is Hazy Purple Hills, painted 01/07/2023. The top of the painting is SkyBlue which fades heading down the page and turns pinkish just above the Mountains. Puffy clouds of various shapes and sizes occupy about 1/3rd of the sky space. They are white with purple, pink and blue edges. The Mountains are light mauve furthest away, darkening as they move lower down the page and are closest to the front. Some dark purple trees are identifiable in the foreground range. This is a zoomed in section of the painting described in the first alt text box. The blue and purple on the clouds is more clearly defined as are the tree shapes on the shadowy mountain. This is an even further zoomed in photo of the original image. It focuses on two clouds. The upper with blue shadowing, the lower with blue edge and purple, pink shadowing. This is another zoomed in image of the original painting. It focuses on 2 large puffy blue edges and shadowed clouds plus some smaller purple edged ones.

This is a color photograph of an original watercolor painting, "They Call Me Maurice" 10x14 inches It shows a Night time scene with a vivid Northern Lights sky behind silhouettes of Northwoods forest trees and a very sturdy Bull Moose occupies the bottom left corner. He is seen from mid waist up. The base behind the trees starts yellow and as it heads up the page transitions unevenly into green, aqua, mauve, purple, light blue and eventually a dark blue sky with stars. 11x15 Grumbacher 140lb 300gsm Acid Free Sheet Reeves Watercolor Tubes: Ivory Black, Lemon Yellow, Viridian Hue, Phtalo Blue, Zinc White Random Watercolor Cake: Purple and Mauve Aqua Elite Princeton 6 & Zen 8 Royal & Langnickle Brushes This is a color photograph of an original watercolor painting, "My Second Moose" 10x14 inches It shows a Night time scene with a vivid Northern Lights sky behind silhouettes of a Northwoods forest hill side and lowland swamp. At the bottom right, facing left is a Bull Moose, his upper shoulder, back, head and antlers seem to be stepping out from the shadow. It's hard to tell if he is a bit behind the hill or partway in the swamp. The base behind the trees starts yellow and as it heads up the page transitions unevenly into green, aqua, mauve, purple, light blue and eventually a dark blue sky with stars. 11x15 Grumbacher 140lb 300gsm Acid Free Sheet Reeves Watercolor Tubes: Ivory Black, Lemon Yellow, Viridian Hue, Phtalo Blue, Zinc White Random Watercolor Cake: Purple and Mauve Aqua Elite Princeton 6 & Zen 8 Royal & Langnickle Brushes This is a color photograph of an original watercolor painting, "Those Northern Nights" 10x14 inches It shows a Night time scene with a vivid Northern Lights sky behind silhouettes of a Northwoods forest.

The base of the painting is blue of a lake leading up and behind the silhouette as it starts to show Northern Lights yellow and as it heads up the painting transitions unevenly into green, aqua, mauve, purple, light blue and eventually a dark blue sky with stars.

#Scape Friday 13th brings us a diptych Lakescape from Two Harbors, MN featuring Lake Superior.

This is the first of a 2 part color photograph. In this image a sunset shot over a picnic table, along the left giving depth is a Rockwall and across a pier just below the horizon to a small lighthouse. The Lake water is calm and like the sky features grey, blue and orange tones. This is part two of a color photograph of Lake Superior in Two Harbor's MN. Following across from the first is the mirroring of color with a brighter spot on the horizon where the sun peeks out from behind a cloud. The rockwall continues darkly along the front bottom edge of the picture with a thickly branched tree silhouette on the right side taking up the middle 3/5th of the side spreading about a third of the way across. The clouds in the sky split into a couple of darker diagonal rows but sky and Lake still carry calm, grey, blue and orange of the sundown.

#RockinTuesday this soft tipped pen sketch with pastel digital overtones is one of my older favorites from the Rock On Series.

It's inspired by looking down at the Rocks, stones and oebbles through the clear waters by a swimming hole in Tettegouche Park.
