My oil paintings of Mineral King are selling steadily. This means I’d better get those paint brushes moving. Now that there are no drawing lessons, I have an extra day each week for painting.
There is a method. I don’t just paint whatever floats my boat. Instead, I take inventory. Hmmm, how many Farewell Gaps of what size? Is there anything else with water? How many Sawtooths of which sizes? Haven’t done any animals lately. . .
And while I’m on the subject, there are a couple of Mineral King paintings in the “I Paint Better Now” category. Might as well freshen them up.
First pass, hanging to dry.
Will these 2 Sawtooth paintings dry in time to scan before I take them to the Silver City Store, 4 miles below Mineral King? Better hang them outside in the summer heat.
A bear and a marmot! Trail Guy is getting great photos for me. The bottom 2 are the I Paint Better Nows.
This scene is so classic. 2 sizes, 2 different times of summer.
P.S. Call me “Butter” because I’m on a roll!
