RUSHING AGUA FRIA















This was painted after the spring rains in the Sierra foothills. The water was rushing over the slate- colored rocks in mini-waterfalls. I tried to get the quality of the light and energy while wondering if any wild cats or bears might be watching!

RIDGE VIEW














This was a distant view in the Sierra foothills on a Spring afternoon.  I was thinking about the contrast of soft rolling hills and floating cloud with the sharp value changes of the craggy rock ridge-line. I used various shades of conte chalks from black to white on a grey primed heavy weight paper.
