I finally finished my latest painting that I sketched in a couple days ago.  This is the Nevada state line at the California border in Verdi, NV.  The state line sign is in the scene and if I were a hyper-realist I would include it!  But I'm not...  😉

Just did this in about five hours today...  I remember hiking around on the east side of the lake photographing, and yelling down to the dudes in the boat if they wanted a unique image of their boat. I couldn’t get them interested LOL! Oh well, so I’ll paint the scene.  I don't know if the tribe allows you out there anymore.

 A scene I saw from my last visit to the Grand Canyon.   It's the most breathtaking sight in the world, but I feel unless you have some foreground interest, its hard to make a painting of it.  I want to go back!  For art nerds, interesting fun fact - this is the very first painting I pulled off using a glass pallette.   Cleanup is a breeze!  I also just took an online course by Matt Smith, and this is the first painting after that.
