View from Timber Gap

This is a fine view of Farewell Gap, as seen from Timber Gap. Timber Gap is not as high, and it is only about 2 miles to the top. It is a good warm-up for the trip to Farewell Gap, because looking across the valley makes one want to visit the other places! i think the blue flowers were Flax.  Some painting notes: this was from about a year ago when I was experimenting with a looser style. My tendency is to draw with the paintbrush and then be very frustrated when the results are less refined than my pencil drawings. On this one, I was determined to look like a Real Oil Painter instead of a Pencil Artist Who Paints. Some days I have to put down the paintbrush and deliberately walk away from the easel because I WANT TO DRAW!!! more accurately, I want my paintings to look like drawings, and that is not the nature of the beast. (Okay, fine, TAME THAT BEAST!!!)

  1. I just love this view–it’s one of my favorites! I have a photo from just about this spot, except it doesn’t have any of the beautiful wildflowers in the picture. Alas, most of the time my visits to Mineral King are in August or later. Some day, I must wander up in late May or early June!
