I have produced many paintings along the banks of the Kaweah River in Sequoia National Park.  All of them have been from summer visits.  Since I was picking up some work from a show I had judged in Visalia in early spring, I decided to go on up the mountain to the park just east of town.  I was amazed to discover that the snow was very deep and treacherous to walk on.  We drove through with high embankments of snow on both sides of the road except for the occasional break where bridges crossed streams.  “Coldwater Creek” is an impression of several scenic breaks on this trek through the beautiful High Sierra Park.
