In my almost non-ending work to paint 8 or so larger paintings for a show during Memorial Day, I realized that I need to re-feed my regular gallery (I was fortunate enough to sell several paintings over the holidays)...so going through my photo reference I came across this view looking at the Owyhee River...we had camped above this location but went exploring near dusk. Being in a fairly deep gorge the light on cliffs was a burning gold and the cast shadows lavender. I was transfixed. Of course, I got home and forgot all about this reference photo...a great surprise! Will work on it a little tomorrow...but can probably bring it in "wet" in a day or two. (Again, I think I am channeling Maynard Dixon.)
