In Part 3 of my Creative Process Series, I’m diving into how I use reference photos—not just as a guide, but as a storytelling tool. I’ll share how I select my sources, the importance of composition and lighting, and how I build a scene that feels authentic and emotionally resonant. Featuring my painting Horse Prairie Roundup, this post takes you behind the scenes from inspiration to finished work.
“Inspiration for my Western pastel art starts with a lifetime of memories—from swimming horses in the river with friends to riding into town for ice cream cones. In this post, I share how those unforgettable ranch life experiences continue to shape my creative process and guide the stories I bring to life in pastel.”
