Located along the Eastern Sierra Mountain Range, in Carson Valley, Nevada is the town of Genoa and many cattle ranches. This scene is along Genoa Lane, looking west to Sierra Canyon and one of the local ranches.
This painting is a study for a larger painting that I'm working on and it reminds me of something John Carlson said about painting mountains, that one needs to feel the weight of the mountain to capture it's essence.
