So fun to spend time paint in Mariposa. I went up with a wonderful painter friend in the middle of a pretty epic rainstorm. We had a blast painting around Mariposa in the sunshine that followed. We met up with a group of group of artists who all participated in an event sponsored by the Sierra Artists Gallery there. We were all encouraged to paint a nocturnal on Main Street which took me out of my comfort zone but it was fun and I like the painting that resulted from it.
I also made it into Yosemite to experience a postcard beautiful day. I was hoping that the dogwood would be blooming and they were. I was able to paint them backlit by the afternoon sun alongside Tenaya Creek on the trail that leads up to Mirror Lake. That morning we painted at Cathedral Beach.
The plan is to head up again in October. Looking forward to it already!
