After a weekend of showing work in Sierra Madre it felt really good to be back at my easel, almost like it had been weeks rather then 4 days. I have a commission canvas to be painted next but thought I should get my brushes tuned up by painting something smaller and chose a familiar view in Sand Canyon where the San Gabriel mountain range ends. Tomorrow I'll be painting at Rancho Camulos near Piru and can't wait for the morning to come.
