Today I decided to paint up near Keswick Dam, in Redding, CA. I found this great big tree - oak or cottonwood - truth be told, I'm still not sure, because it was on the other side of the River. Under the tree was this peaceful spot, perfect for a picnic! Every time I passed this spot, I longed to sit under that tree and read a book, take a nap, and simply enjoy the quiet.
Of course, I am constantly thinking of different ways to paint things I have already painted.. that's what makes me a forever student, but I enjoyed painting this one.
Here it is:
