Among the many things I love about being out west is being able to see a storm from all angles, this doesn’t happen on the east coast. This one in the pic was spectacular and increased in intensity as I drove around and passed it. . . #majesticlandscape #roadtrippin #crosscountrydrive #carwindowphotography #carshot #drivebyphotography #landscape #landscapephotography #inspiration #stormyskies⚡️☁️ #stormylandscape #teachingartist #artrules #travelingandteaching #cloudstagram #stormclouds #newmexico #ontheway #bigsky #rainclouds #color https://www.instagram.com/p/BpJ5ACFBO8F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=amyy3lij8ei3

I climbed to the top, totally alone, afraid of heights...stopped twice, sat down, cried, started down, but then got angry and went back up.

Understanding composition fundamentals is so very important, but how many of us really do understand it and/or how to use it effectively? We all know when something doesn’t look ‘right’, but how do we figure out why and how do we fix it? My new blog post is an excerpt from a talk on composition that I give to all of my workshops. It’s a bit technical, a bit boring maybe, but knowing these simple rules may be helpful to you when something not ‘right’ befalls you in the studio.

The pine borer beetle is a most destructive pest, but a mark-maker extraordinaire. . . #contemporaryartist #lorraineglessnerartist #markmaking #drawing #woodcarving #natureart #hikenewmexico #travelingandteaching #founddrawing #markmaking #marks #contemporaryartist #borer #hikelikeagirl https://www.instagram.com/p/Boyl_7SBbpE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1430x6d4rguw

I’ve been consistently enthralled by the colors and textures of the prickly pear, especially the diseased and dying ones. . . #minimalart #lorraineglessnerartist #naturephoto #opuntia #pricklypear #founddrawing #artist #foliage #texture #plantphotography #minimallovers #minimalmood #natureadventure #hikelikeagirl #paintinginspiration #naturesart #wabisabi #cactus #newmexico #biology https://www.instagram.com/p/BowBC6uh6vJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2ruww2h8iygw

Last year it was oil pastels, this year it’s chalk. I always find that when learning a new medium it’s easier for me to copy than start from scratch. Borrowing her lush collection of pastels and an even more lush Diebenkorn book from my lovely friend @jean_wilkey, I translated Diebenkorn’s paintings to pastel drawings and had a great time. Really loving the medium and now I’ll have to buy my own pastels. . . #lorraineglessnerartist #paintinginspiration #paintingprocess #artsupplies #fun #artist #workinprogress #contemporaryart #lorraineglessnerartist #surreallandscape #layers #pasteldrawing #artprocess #encausticartist #pastelonpaper #drawingonpaper #selfmaderesidency #inspircation #diebenkorn #newmexico https://www.instagram.com/p/BorDSFvhM99/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jrda0uske3eq

Pretty cool how this photo came out...I was standing at the base of a really big dune, it was a windy day so the sand patterns were fabulous also. . . #clouds #layers #sand #patterndesign #newmexicoskies #minimalart #lorraineglessnerartist #naturephoto #founddrawing #artist #landscapephotography #minimallovers #minimalmood #natureadventure #hikelikeagirl #abstractlandscape #paintinginspiration #lightandshadow #wabisabi #newmexico #whitesands @whitesandsnps (at White Sands National Monument) https://www.instagram.com/p/Booi8XOhgaa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c0y7vucn366n
