Think I have just completed the final painting for my September Show at Tumalo Gallery in Bend, Oregon. This scene is actually the drive to my home...sometimes beauty is just around the corner. I noticed one night after a long day of scouting photo reference that as i drove home the light was perfect and the mountains in the distance (Gary Butte, and Smith Rocks) were hilighted in a way that really captured my imagination. Well, time to take a small break!
