Ironwoods at Goat Harbor16 x16 PLEIN AIR PAINTING |
Years ago, several jeeps took a group of us to this very rugged area. Everyone scattered, and it took me FOREVER to figure out what to do. I finally spotted this scene through my camera lense!
I had the top half completed, and was starting to work on the prickly pear cactus in the foreground, when everyone started coming back. To my dismay, our time was up! So, I painted what I could see out of the corner of my eye...just the impression...(hum, where did that word come from?)
The kind of funny thing was...one of the other artists had hiked W A Y out there, and returned with a painting, almost identical to this one!
