One more...calcite and azurite on quartz, Cobar, New South Wales. Gouache on black card.

Today has been a good painting day. The weather has been pretty ordinary - wet and windy - so indoor pursuits were best.

Steve,

These are so very good! I suggest that Mindat should allow paintings to be competitive in Photo of the Day.... and start with any one of the above. :)-D

Happy New Year!
