On the Road to Black Star

I painted this last week while standing at the edge of the road leading to Black Star Canyon. The panoramic view was spectacular and it was a beautiful day. Doesn't get much better than that! The following day was cloudy and stormy so we felt we had been blessed the day before with the sun. Black Star Canyon is in the Silverado Canyon area. I hadn't been there before but it is well worth the trip. Actually I shouldn't recommend it as I didn't quite make it to the canyon as this scene captured me before I got to the gate leading to the canyon. Next time I will go farther!

Riverbed

This was painted while standing in the middle of the riverbed in Irvine Park.  The climb down was fairly steep and a friend (much younger) helped me down and back up with all my painting gear--I felt quite daring!!  Anyway, it was a beautiful view and I was grateful for the help.  This riverbed is dry most of the time.  I've only heard one person say they'd seen it at one time with a lot of water in it.
