I thought of using a reference photo I had taken of an on ramp near Weed, California, but it didn’t have the composition or colors that I was looking for, so I invented this one. I’m not sure if this leads to Nirvana or not. I’ll let you know if and when I get there.

24″ x 18″ on 140 lb. Strathmore Cold Press paper with M Graham paints.

C&C appreciated.

Tim

That’s the kind of onramp to my Nirvana as well.

Tim, I love it. ‘I’ll let you know if and when I get there.’

Awesome job on this. Love the orange bus and hill line. You did well in your color choice and subject.

This will help you get to where you are going

Thanks, everyone. We had this 1974 orange VW bus and finally sold it and bought a 1986 model then drove our two teenage daughters on a road trip circumnavigating the U.S.A. hitting 30 states in 40 days. Close to Nirvana for all of us.

Mike, your link was a great image and music. Thanks.
