After a long time working only in studio, I ventured out to one of my favorite spots, King Gilette Ranch. So many beautiful vistas, I’ve painted the entryway from the other side but this day was taken by the extreme angle of the trees and lane. The orange cones were in the scene and since their beautiful orange color stood as such a nice compliment to the green i decided to include them. I’m happy that the mundane object became part of this scene’s beauty.
