Evening Sky at Veterans Park

November 19, 2017 by Heidi Orcutt

We used to live in College Station, Texas and this park was very close to our apartment. I would drive by it every day on the way to work. The trees in Texas don't grow very tall and as a result the sky looks enormous. I took this picture in 2012, this painting was done in November of 2017.

Gouache-tober

October 15, 2017 by Heidi Orcutt

I set myself the task to make a painting every day in October. This is an exercise to become more comfortable with the medium gouache and to generate a creative habit. These are a few of my favorites.
