15" x 20" - $225.00   This painting displays an approach I often use in my work – selection and elimination. Dana Peak was majestic, though the meadow below it lacked distinguishing visual features for me. I replaced the foreground meadow with a shallow inlet of the Lyle Fork to the Tuolumne River. The lake just below the mountain was used to connect these two contrasting landscape motifs. I wanted to establish an intimate warm environment from which to view a vast, cold panorama of sierra's high country.
