Outside Parris

8 x 23 inches Oil on birch SOLD

Detail

This was my first painting in the mountains I did in 2001. I was searching for the perfect
rolling hills I had seen pictures of, and outside the town of Parris CA was it.

So close to the brink of the day~ it was totally dark a minute later. Not always so smart or lucky (!) to be out searching for a place to paint,so close to sunset and find it in time to capture that last light. Kind of fun to be out exploring with no map and not really knowing where you're going. Just following the landscape.
