This started out as a generic scene of the area up here but I think I subconciously painted the mountains down by Pasadena since I've been wanting to paint those mountains for a while now.
A detail of the trail area. I'm still working on painting trails...these are so fun to do in a painting. I'm really enjoying painting the grasses too. This was a fun little painting.
This painting was created using a pencil thumbnail sketch to work from...very basic sketch with no values in it which was ok....just something to work out a composition really...if I did this one again I wouldn't work thhe trees so close on the right side....on 9"x12" you can find things getting a little cramped anyway. It all worked out anyway and I'm pretty happy with it.

Hi Ron
This one is pretty nice and the trail works really well to lead your eye into the picture.
The atmospheric perspective is good too giving depth

Hi Ryan,
Hope married life is treating you well. Thanks for the comments too on this one. Trying to come up with an idea for the next painting.
Ron
