This painting had the tightest deadline of all the paintings in progress. After a day of doing many non-painting projects, I got a day to paint uninterrupted (except for Jackson).
The edges are painted. It needed to dry, be signed, get photographed, varnished and get rewired from its previous iteration as a horizontal painting.
This is Sawtooth #66, 12×24”, oil on wrapped canvas, $650, located at the Silver City Resort, 4 miles below Mineral King.

I’m thinking of the spot where (if you’re walking up the trail) you can spot iron-infused water coming out of the river bank. It’s shortly before the trail dips sharply down into a marshy area, then heads back up past a douglas fir. Below and near where Sunnypoint Campground used to be.
Anyway, the painting is beautiful!
Gotcha. This is further downstream from that point.
That’s a view of Sawtooth that is rarely seen. Did you take artistic liberty by adding in the river? It kinda looks like the view off the Nature Trail where an iron springs comes out from the river bank, yes?
P.S. They DO have a way of demanding attention when you least ne . . . oh, hi, Jackson!
Sharon, it is somewhere on the Nature Trail, possibly while standing in the creek/river. It is further upstream from Iron Falls (as you have so aptly named it), and I exaggerated the size and visibility of Sawtooth.
Beautiful. It reminds me of a creek in Alabama that we used to camp by. It’s name is Shoal Creek and it’s in Talladega National forest.
Thanks, Kathy! I will look this up and see if I can find any photos.
