Here's a failed drawing of Glacier Peak, and some studies I did afterward to look for a brush stroke more evocative of evergreens, and one where I kinda got it right. Now to fix the composition and tone. (my lived experience of the mountains is that everything is 100% saturated all the time, but I don't think that works as a painting approach) A lot of drawing feels like completely failing all the time, which typically doesn't get posted.
The beach and the ocean and a full moon.

The first multiday backpacking trip I ever went on was 20 miles of coast in the olympic national park. It's still one of my favorites. If you go, chances are, you'll see a lot of moody sunsets, not to say rain.

A painting of some pelicans flying just above the water. The wave pushes air in front of it, and they sort of surf along on it.
