Snow Creek Area

Studio Painting done from a photo I took from the Gold Bar Ranch area looking at the Snow creek dranage. This one, the one before this and the next one were all taken from a bridge I was standing on so there are 3 different views of the same area.

Studio painting done from imagination-no photo. This painting was created in about a 6 hour session. I was happy with the results and called it done. I might change it at sometime now that I've had a chance to look at it for a few months. I painted this back in January and just getting around to posting it.

This is a Studio Painting done from imagination, it is representational of the area I like so I'm very familiar with it and am confortable doing paintings in this manner. Which I've done all my life. I don't like painting from Photographs because it seems to confines you. I like to have more freedom and able to put my soul into things. You get that when you paint from your mind.
