New online sketch class, 1st page of a brand new journal (Strathmore series 500 hardbound for mixed media), new minimum palette (as close to Liz's as I could come with paints I have) and I'm starting 7 weeks behind schedule. Thank goodness Liz will keep the lessons online for a year! Happy New year of artistic pursuits! It took me way too long to settle on the minimal kit, but was very important to accomplish! I rushed the page being determined to get lesson 1 done asap so I can try to make up for the weeks of lost time, if possible. Frustrated to be starting so far behind and doubt I'll connect with other students who will be working on different lessons. A special circumstance did not allow me to begin at the start. Glad to have now begun on this first day of 2015! Thankful for this experience, it's a blessing. Also... I was trying to place paints same as Liz, and have since realized this is the wrong placement for ME, since I am not lefthanded. Once I've settled on 6 colors they will be arranged differently, (yellows at top, then reds and blues)which may morph again!
Boy, I'd better turn around at take a quick glance behind, I am again near the colorful parking in LeftHand Canyon where I stopped and explored. Here is another great color shot along LeftHand stream here so I kept at it! The color while aimed east was almost as bright as my backlit shots but that is really hard. This is more color over by LeftHand Stream and here is another good example in LeftHand Canyon. This was shot up the winding canyon next to LeftHand Stream at my right. I think that I better get another move on and keep poking around for more possibilities.
Boy does autumn always look when their "cloaking" device activated! Sometimes it takes more than on trip to find the autumn color. The flat lands will be coughing up it's color after this.
I am directly down below my unfinished narrow gauge trek. The grade is up the mountain side, nearly ninety degrees to the left of the frame. The color here beats that up on the Switzerland Trail narrow gauge railroad grade although the grade sneaks across this canyon well above here past the Puzzler, at Bloomerville, near its head . This season's color was bit thready probably because of our dry summer. When is Colorado ever really wet? Beside all that, the road is paved down here even though there is limited traffic along LeftHand Canyon. Still, it beats driving the flood-wrecked Jamestown route. We tried that a month ago and will wait for another year.

I love this picture. This is Queen Paola of Belgium. Next time the wind blows she should let go of her hat, and try to hang on to her royal dignity instead!

This is a left handed mug, very hard to carry if you are right handed. Never really achieved the crop I was after.
