When people think of Mineral King, a certain scene usually comes to mind. It is the view of Farewell Gap, looking upstream while standing on the bridge at the end of the road, with the Crowley family cabin and the stream in the foreground. This is the most popular scene that I paint of Mineral King.
Recently a large oil painting of this scene sold at Kaweah Arts.
At the same time, Silver City Resort asked me for a large vertical painting to hang in a highly visible space inside the store/restaurant. Last year a painting of sequoia trees filled that space; this summer it is hanging (for sale, of course) at Kaweah Arts.
Clearly, I need to paint a new large canvas of this classic Mineral King scene.
This is the first time I have painted the scene in these proportions.
I wonder how quickly I can get it done, because the summer selling season is a short little blip on the calendar.

Iconic scene for an iconic store. I like it, and can’t wait to see it this summer!
