Above the Solar Farm

Looking south from the hill above the solar farm on a burn day. Very bright late morning with lots of smoke haze from the neighbors clearing brush.

Phoenix Lake Redwoods

I hiked up to the lake to try and find some redwoods. My sister says I don’t paint redwoods enough. My usual excuse it that they are so big I can’t find a decent composition. The only way to paint redwoods site size is to be really far away. I went to the lake with the idea that I could use the water to put some distance between me and them. I’m glad I went, Its so satisfying to see the lake full again. Lots of water.

Alpine Lake Tree

My painting kit is light and small enough now that I can fit it all into a back pack. Today I rode my gravel bike out to Alpine Lake and painted a tree next to the side of the water.

Lake Sketch

Made this lake doodle to test ArtRage on my new iMac.  So much faster and responsive that my old powerbook.  Very happy with the graphic improvements.  Can’t wait to try it out on something more substantial.
