This place always amazes me. There are so many different facets to it. This time, I just wanted to paint rocks. I could paint rocks all day. Smith Rock tufa gives me all kinds of opportunities!

This was the first painting I did using the new Mount Vision pastels Ping got me for Christmas. Wonderful stuff--great consistency, vibrant colors and a joy to work with!
