More Farewell Gap, Mineral King Oil Paintings

Happy Birthday, Diana Banana!!

Since I have about 32 oil paintings of Farewell Gap with the Crowley family cabin in Mineral King, let’s keep going. You can evaluate my progress (or lack thereof).

The Roman numeral numbering system isn’t consistent here. Sometimes I called a small version simply “Mineral King”, sometimes I included it in the consecutive numbering.

Come back on Monday to see how I painted the scene in 2013.

  1. Oh, maybe the quintessential Sawtooth view, or Cold Springs bridge?

  2. Hi, Jana! I love all of them, but I especially love the light hitting the trees and the peaks in this last one, Farewell Gap XII, 2012 🙂 Leah

    • Hi Leah! Thank you for your input. I agree with you about the light on that one.

  3. How about “equal time” for the west side? 🙂

    • Sharon, what view would you like to see? I’ll give it a shot, but there won’t be equal time, because that Farewell Gap view sells the most, so I paint it the most.
