Landscape Painting Plans

While getting things more situated with the unpacked stuff, it occurred to me that a space in the living room cries out for a large landscape painting.

What I have in mind is a sunset painting of the three main peaks (one is called "Midget Mesa", another is "Mesa Butte" and the third has no name that I know of) across the valley.

I am checking with Asya (who is now in St. Petersburg, Russia) on her availability and landscape painting skills. She is interested. The photos that accompany this blog post were shot this morning and sent to Asya.

She can work from photographs (she did my portrait from photographs she shot), but it would be preferable if she painted here. The problem with that, at present, is that the consulate in St. Petersburg had been shut down by Vladimir Putin's govenment, so it may be difficult for her to get a visa (unless she goes to Moscow).

We'll see.
