View from the Grasslands, Mission Trails Oil on Panel 9″ x 12″ 4/23/09
I decided to work a bit closer to home (this scene is only a mile or two from here) Sadly, my Mt Woodson paintings are on hold for a little longer as my client is wanting to make yet more changes to this big project I’m working on, grrrr! If I go to the mountain I will be too far from home (my workplace) However, I can always slip away for a couple hours or so to make little paintings like this one.
The grasslands is stunning this time of year, not yet too hot during the day and over the next couple of weeks thousands of migratory birds stop over here. The late afternoon light makes everything seem magical. Hopefully I can explore this feeling by making several more one sitting paintings over the next couple of weeks or so until I can get back to my mountain. I love this place!
