Didn't want to come home! (x-post from pastels)

Just got back from my trip to the Sierras. Wonderful! I could have stayed until the snow came. Actually, that would be fun too!

Beautiful painting Randy. You really captured the area very well. Great composition and color choices, very nice! It must have been tough to leave that area you took the photo that's for sure.

Thanks, everyone. It was so gorgeous up in the high country. The leaving and coming home thing was touch-and-go for a while!

Hi Randy,
What a great looking place to be painting at. No wonder my sister and her husband go up there so much. Great work on the painting. You've caught the water in this one very nicely. Good work!
