After spending most of the winter working on difficult subjects that took much thought, revision, and enormous amounts of time, painting familiar small Mineral King oil paintings to sell in the upcoming summer months feels speedy quick like lightning.
I think Hiking Buddy took the reference photo with her superior iPhone, generously sent it to me, and I phoofed up the colors, making them more vivid than the real life scene. Still, it was better in real life, because everything is.
This is Farewell Gap Alpenglow, 6×12″, $125, and it will be available at the Silver City Store this summer, unless it sells before that.

The only thing missing from this beautiful painting is (in my humble option) the “bear patch” of snow that commonly stays throughout most/all of the summer months. But I’ll bet it will last all summer this year, yay!
P.S. I, too, have established Sunday as a computer-free day. It’s a nice break!
Sharon, I looked back at the photo. I took it in a dry summer, but I already forgot the year. I think Bearskin will survive all summer, unless it gets washed away in a thunderstorm. And lest you think I am super disciplined, I do use my computer on Sunday if there is a reason. I just don’t post on weekends, unless there is a compelling need to share information.
