DRAWING OF KEITH NOBEL BY SHOOSTY
DIGITAL PAINTING OF KEITH NOBEL
Bonnie Springs, Nevada, is one of the few watering holes that was a required stop by the settlers heading for Califor- nia. We set up just beyond the tourist parking in view of the road. Many peo- ple stopped by to check our progress. While on a convention trip, I was contacted by an old elementary school friend, Keith Nobel, via Facebook. We had not seen each other in 43 years! He asked if I wanted to go painting not knowing that painting is my favorite thing to do. I decided upon a contemporary com- position where color and style supersede reality. e mountain range narrows at the horizon line, and the scrub brush is just a few shapes. A white sky and yellow-orange foreground set the tone with dark brown and pink accents. If you look close, I used bits of local sand and found materials as well.
