Colorado Morning (Digital Impasto)

Colorado Morning (Digital Impasto), a photo by randubnick on Flickr.

This is a digital painting that I created tonight using Painter's digital impasto (a digital emulation of thick oil paint). I worked from imagination and memories of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, my home state. It's not surprising that I painted mountains, because I love the mountains. And it is also true that I often paint mountain landscapes when I am using new media, so this was a practical choice to use with digital impasto, which is something I rarely use. But I also paint the mountains when Colorado is on my mind.
