A Business Trip to Mineral King

The last time I was in Mineral King, I did almost nothing. Accomplished quite a bit of knitting, but went nowhere and did nothing else. Read a little. But went nowhere.

The shadow beneath the bridge was nice. This photo has been enhanced, because the reality is that there is mostly brown, brownish gray, and brownish green in the scene. California is very brown, including the governor. Brown, brown, brown.

Sawtooth looked quite fetching on the way up the hill. (It is gray, not brown.)

There is some subtle color (enhanced browns?) on Vandever, which is the right half of Farewell Gap.

Each of these photos will make a decent painting, particularly if I juice up the colors.

Hey! I did do something. Gathering photos for future paintings is something. In fact, I think it must have been a business trip!

  1. Sounds like a business trip to me, too, Jana! 🙂 Glad you had some days to do almost nothing. And you almost have to get away to enjoy a time like that, right? We’re taking a couple of weeks at the end of the month to get away, but I have a feeling we’ll be busy. Part of the time will be filled with grandbabies and we’ll be sightseeing the rest of the time. I may come home tired! 🙂

    • Cheryl, there is definitely a difference between a “trip” and a “vacation”. Sounds as if you may need a vacation after your trip!
