High in the Sierra Nevada mountains, above Mosquito Flats, there are a series of small lakes called the Gem Lakes. These are a cluster of about a dozen tiny lakes. The last of these lakes is at the foot of a huge cliff. In this painting I wanted to show the scale of cliff in relation to the lakes and trees.

Experiments in Paint
Painting is one of the most challenging endeavors. With every subject, and every painting there are new challenges and lessons learned. I think of each painting as a new experiment. This journal documents the journey.-

Wow Daniel — looks like an awesome place to paint! How long a trip is it from Irvine? Wish we had something similar up here…post more often, I love to see what you’re doing –
This is a five hour drive and then a 3 hour hike from Irvine, a little much for a day trip, but spectacular.
Gorgeous–definitely have to follow you up there with my camera someday.
