Painting streamside

"Stream Sketch" oil on panel, 8x10, $320

I did this little painting with my painting gear sitting in my lap, while trying not to slide down the bank into the stream I was painting at Sugarloaf state park. The sun was setting in line with the canyon, so a great beam of light was hitting this big rock covered in moss. I had a harder time capturing the light bouncing off the bottom pool in front of the rock, but I'm really happy with the contrast between the brightly lit rocks and the dark background.
