Sometimes the very best thing an artist can do is nothing! Recently Jackie and I were rambling around the neighborhoods of Bozeman with no agenda whatsoever. On our walk we passed by a righteous old Rosa Glauca bush. The blue leafed rose has long been one of my favorites. This specimen was 100 years old I bet! I didn’t think much about it, but it lingered in my consciousness.
Back in the studio I started a painting with nothing particular in mind. I was just putting paint on canvas, seeing where the painting would lead me. Lo and behold I ended up painting that ancient rose bush. The painting flowed effortlessly and turned out beautifully!
I’d love to hear what you think!
Let’s keep in touch,
Marshall
Love this and the story that goes with it!
Thank you, Sherri!
