"Looking West", pastel

This was done of the Mackville Ranch at sunset. The sunsets and sunrises there are amazing. This one is sold but I still like it. When I finally get the train station done I will post it. Some day I will spend hours watching the lake as the sun comes up and goes down. Gee, I keep thinking about those glorious ribbons of Karen Appleton. She is so generous with her paint and she uses just the right amount of color. Wow! It is enough to make my heart race just thinking about it. Even her line drawings are stunning. Interdependence is much more powerful than dependence or independence. Working as a team miricles happen.

"Mackville Looking West"

The next group of postings are all paintings I completed for my graduate level landscape class at the Academy of art in San Francisco. This one is 11" X 14", oil and is looking out across my backyard at the Mackville Ranch in Clements, Ca. It is a quiet peaceful place. It is $500.00 unframed. Any feedback is welcome.
