Faith Valley














Painting No. 119, Faith Valley (study for larger painting)
Alpine County, California
12"x24", oil on canvas
July 18, 2011

I've been pondering since last week if I should do a larger painting from this location in Faith Valley. So I went up there on Monday, took some photos and did this large study. The wind was blowing 10-20 miles per hour....I'm not joking! I found some large boulders and anchored the legs of my tripod. Good news was the mosquitoes had a hard time landing on me. During my 2-1/2 hours I was expecting a bear or deer to walk out in front of me, but no luck.
