My Travel Paintings - Washington Pass Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: Peaks, Spires and a Ridgeline Covered with Snow. On the original image I posted here on Flickr (www.flickr.com/photos/14723335@N05/38672370244/in/album-7...), I commented on standing at Washington Pass Overlook while in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest and savoring the views and cool temperatures...and loving it! But it was an uncertain stop that I have to thank the friend I was with for wanting to go further on Washington State Route 20 in the North Cascades mountains. To think I might have missed taking in views of these rugged mountains...lucky me! As for the digital painting, I continued to practice more in using broader paint brush strokes like I'd seen in a Bob Ross video and watching another painter friend of mine. General highlights I worked on was with a Kyle acrylic brush. I like the digital effect it created as it seemingly had texture to it and not the smoothed over look other brushes have. I could then decrease the brush size for more precision in other area. I used more of Kyle’s Rakes - Zen Grind brush for the trees going up the mountainside. Work that I wouldn't call my favorite one but good enough to convey some changes in color and hue to create a sense of relief across the mountain. Could I have spent more time and added more detailed view of trees? Yes, but I was attempting to paint a quicker style and not spend weeks like I had in the past. What I did like was using a blend in colors as it produced a much better look than the typical Normal blend. The last area that really took a while to get the right look was with the clouds. In my mind, I knew the brush stroke I wanted but couldn't get that look on the digital canvas. I decided on using a Kyle's Dry Media -Compressed Charcoal and then adjusting the blend mode produced the closest result. What I found worked best was to brush out the brighter white area. I could then darken the hue, adding a shade feel to a portion of the clouds next to that brighter white area. I would blend at the edges. I would repeat that with an even darker area next to that. I would repeat all that again in another portion of the clouds. There's still some work to do, but I like the result more with feel of clouds. The last area was my continuing work with blue skies and adding a watercolor brush on top to break up and not have that smooth sky look. In the left foreground of the painting, you'll find that stick figure image of me "hiking" with my Cubbies hat, loving my time exploring the North Cascade mountains of Washington :-)

Blaze arriving: Why are you standing on the table?

Silver rubbing his index fingers together: N-nothing... N-nothing at all...

Von Schlemmer: Ja, it's our house! We have the very right of stand wherever we want!! *Folds his arms*

Blaze: *sighs* Where's the spider?

Gold: IN THE KITCHEN!!

Silver: B-be careful!

Von Schlemmer: DIESER LOVECRAFT-HORROR IST RIESIG!

*Blaze walks in the kitchen*

Blaze giggling: Where are you spider?

Blaze ignating her dominant hand: Found you, let's settle this alre- OUCH!

Shadow holding Blaze's wrist and glaring directly in her eyes as she falls at knees: If I ever see you threatening Juanita's life again, I will pay a visit to your kingdom and take the Eclipse Cannon...

Blaze: What- When- WHY?!?

Shadow stretching his hand to Juanita climb it: Just. Leave. Her. Alone! She DIDN'T do ANYTHING to ANYONE!! *Teleports*

#shadow the hedgehog #blaze the cat #silver the hedgehog #professor von Schlemmer #gold the tenrec #first I saw the table part in a meme just between slver and blaze #then a few days later I saw a meme of mother and daughter talking about her messed room and pet spider #and recently the idea of merge these both scenarios came to my mind #incorrect sonic quotes #off the curve... off the road actually.... just like always #dadow

Hairpin Curves by Elia Winters Megan Harris had hopes of seeing the world, but at twenty-five she’s never even left Florida. Now a wedding invitation lures her to Quebec … with her ex-friend Scarlett offering to be her plus one. As the miles roll away, what starts as harmless road-trip games and rest-stop dares escalates into something like intimacy. And when a surprise snowstorm forces Megan and Scarlett to hunker down without the open road as distraction, they’ve got a bigger challenge than making it to the church on time: facing the true nature of their feelings for each other.
