This was one of the last paintings on an October plein air trip in the Eastern Sierra. The plan had been to find a spot next to one of Lundy Canyon’s beaver ponds but it was raining when we got there. As we were leaving the canyon (close to Highway 395) the sun came out and everything sparkled. So we quickly chose a spot. I went with this small format in case the weather turned.
