This one was practice for my upcoming mountain trip. I did it from a photo I took up there last year, as the sun was rising and there were still lots of big shadows on the rocks. It will be the last painting I post before I leave on Saturday, because I've got to pack. After a day of driving, we'll spend half the day hiking up the mountain, 5 days painting, and another half day hiking out (assuming no one needs a helicopter, again). : ) Be thinking nice thoughts for me, and will the bears and mountain lions into nice, friendly moods. If all goes well, I'll be back home again around August 22nd.
