Rolling Hills and Oak Trees

Mill Creek Road July 6 2011 is presented here in the plein air excursion at this somewhat remote location.

Cell phones might not work below the high ridges above the Mill Creek and the very narrow Mill Creek Canyon road. This location is a wooded wild life area featuring large predator California Puma. Keep the vehicle available and try not to present a tasty meal to a deserving mountain lion while attending the work. Guns do not often protect people from mountain lions because puma will usually seize the perfect opportunity to get a running forty foot leap from the rear of the victim.

This week's work in the rich sunshine in the neighborhood of my town Redwood Valley California is represented by the oak trees and topography. My neighborhood is nearly smack dab in the middle of Mendocino County.

The second landscape work is on the field easel under development at a different location and time of day. The areas I choose are often remote with bad cell phone coverage so that when I inadvertently humidified my cell phone while wading in the cool waters at Mariposa Creek under the Tomkie road the remote locations became less advisable to continue making paintings alone out on Cow mountain. The electronic and cell phone equipment is dry again and ready to use and I am ready to go again.

I like to paint anywhere the fishing is good; the people are kept not too far away to be of help in an emergency.

The paintings this summer will not always have water; that is merely because I want the do paintings about the terrain and the its life.

I will nevertheless have to paint our beauty-full Lake Mendocino.
