| "Keyhole Rock Pile" 12x16 oil |
I found a new place to paint near home. It is called Sun Valley Regional Park and it is above Sparks, NV. Way up on a hill with great views and many interesting rock formations with easy access. The other day my painting group and I met up there and had fun.
My foot surgery went well, but I still cannot stand at my easel a long time. It just takes time to heal. I also have started painting on larger panels, which takes more time and more paint. This is a 12x16 panel. It is a good size. I like it. I don't feel so cramped trying to paint little things in a small space. So, this painting was started en plein air and finished in the studio.
Here is my painting how I started it on location:

Best rocks ever! Really, very nice work! Looks like a great place to paint, love rock formation with distance going on and on. I like the color on the rocks, cool with a bit of warmth - -looks so real. I really like seeing your very beginning as well, and thanks for posting it. I am trying to do more PA's in Oil, but not so large! One day I guess!
Hi Ida, thanks for the compliment! I hope to see you plein air painting now that the weather is trying to warm up!
