Moon over Mission Trails(approx) 14″ x 20″ Oil on Panel 8/2008
This plein air painting was done over several sessions at Mission Trails Regional Park – not far from where I live. I was racing with the evening mountain shadows as they flew up the side of the hillside. I loved the contrast of the dark foreground area in shadow and their expressive silhouettes of the chaparral against the brightly lit mountainside.
