I caught a little summer cold (aren't they the worst?!) which is why I haven't posted for a few days. This is another one from the Sierra's - up at Iceberg Lake. I say "up" because we had to hike up quite a bit to get there. And then back down to camp after. This was an odd rock jutting out into the lake. I absolutely fell in love with the colors in the shadow. And in the water. Such an awesome place!

The title for this one is a joke because my friend Paul says I avoid putting trees in my paintings. Which is pretty true. He's the master of trees. I could learn a thing or two (or fifteen) from Paul Kratter.

I painted this one after a hike up to Iceberg Lake (from Ediza) last week. The water was spectacular, but for some reason this scene was calling me even more. I think the thing I love most about this place is the rocks. Can you tell?

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Waterside"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   8/24/16
 "Waterside" - 8x10in. - click here to bid
      
This is my first painting (that turned out) from our trip up into the Sierra Nevada mountains last week. There was a little waterfall just to the left and I tried painting that first, but it was a disaster. Despite that, and a few other failures, there were no major disasters, and we all had a wonderful time!

I did see two bears: one from the car driving in, and the other in our camp a couple of evenings, keen on getting our food. Fortunately he ran away when we yelled at him. He did manage to snag some instant coffee and a couple of days later we found a big sludgy pile of bear poop near camp. Poor guy must have had indigestion!

This one was practice for my upcoming mountain trip. I did it from a photo I took up there last year, as the sun was rising and there were still lots of big shadows on the rocks. It will be the last painting I post before I leave on Saturday, because I've got to pack. After a day of driving, we'll spend half the day hiking up the mountain, 5 days painting, and another half day hiking out (assuming no one needs a helicopter, again). : ) Be thinking nice thoughts for me, and will the bears and mountain lions into nice, friendly moods. If all goes well, I'll be back home again around August 22nd.
