25 minutes, on the way home from Santa Barbara

This was the early morning light as we drove home from Santa Barbara. The light was so beautiful that time of day. I simplified the scene and eliminated the exit that was to the right.I really like this one Well, all my quick studies are done. I still have quite a few to post but I am down to my final large painting. Honestly I am not sure if it is due on the 17th or the 20th. Both dates are posted.I played yesterday and went to the Gourd Festival with a friend and soooo enjoyed myself. She likes the cutsy gourds and I like the artsy gourds. They were amazing. I could see how people get hooked on them. I guess...I am hooked on painting, how big a difference is there....just a different surface.
