I went ahead and did a second painting of this scene from our 1973 backpacking trip in the Glacier Peak Wilderness, this time in landscape orientation. It helped a bit that I had already painted it but I still had some of the same problems as the first time. Still, I think it gives a pretty good impression of our incredible campsite view.
We spent another week in the Placerville area again to help Chris and Claire by feeding their horses. When we were there in February, the weather was awful, but this time it was nice and we had a good time there. We made a couple of walks down to the Cosumnes River and sat in the little park just watching the river flow. It reminded me of the Bob Dylan song. Back at the house, I painted the scene.
