October Print of the Month: Dolly Sods Bog in Autumn

I want to share a bit more of the story behind my earlier works as I work towards creating new ones. This print will be 20% off now through November 30.

This is one of my favorite and most popular prints! I remember taking the photo at the top of a hike across the Sods and knowing this place and moment was really special. 

I tried painting this scene several time while trying to learn the medium of watercolors. There were several moments of tears where things weren't looking quite right, so I shelved it for a few years and tried again  later. I used the Hushwing Watercolors palette to paint this and I think the perfect color pairing and unintentionally-used limited palette helped bring this scene to life.
