a funny thing happened on the way to Wrightwood


they reopened the 2 highway to Wrightwood recently after a five year closer so i thought i'd drive up and do a little painting Sunday. packed the laptop but forgot the "Black box" that blocks the screen from the sun. a crucial part of digital plein air. so i drove back and painted this from imagination instead.

Well, painting from life is really just a great excuse for wandering up the beautiful 2frwy! And in any case you were clearly inspired -- this looks great with the little final details, and cropping. So much fun to see your process :)

Advances are the main way salaried individuals can satisfy their yearnings in life. Beginning from the family unit needs and going ahead to the transportation lastly owning one's own home. These are the fundamental needs of any family or individual and it can't be dodged whenever for need of cash. Thus a great many people decide on a credit or something to that affect.
