Finished this one up in the studio. Thanks to all for the kind encouraging words when I felt like throwing it into the dump. 😝 I’m happy to include the BLINDING sun that caused me to quit early on-site. It actually hurts for me to even look at the painted version haha. . . . . . #paintingoftheday #paintingfromlife #autumn #californiaart #californiaartist #fineart #pleinair #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #eastbayart #gouache #gouacheart #gouachepainting #nature
