Last week it got cold and rainy but I painted in the unheated workshop anyway because summer is coming and I will wish it was cold. Yes, there is a heater which Trail Guy offered to light for me several times, but I declined. It was overcast, and I knew I wouldn’t be painting all day because it was a little hard to see the colors correctly.
In deciding which of the 7 Mineral King oil paintings to work on, it may not surprise you that I chose one of the Oak Grove Bridge, my favorite subject to draw and paint.
The bridge needs to be refined and the foliage needs to be finished. Then I will probably start on the other oil painting of my favorite bridge in all of Tulare County.

Hello Jana,
Your blog is paying off——-giving a sneak preview of the art for the show!
What are the dimensions for the painting of the bridge? I too, love the subject. To me – it’s the bridge of possibilities……the candy store, skiing at Wolverton, Mineral King, the Noisy Water Cafe, the Sequoias…… all places a part of my growing up. Fond memories indeed.
If someone from say Oregon- were to buy it, what would be the total cost- including shipping.
Happy that spring has arrived for you. We are still dealing with the aftereffects of the ice storm. I lost many beautiful trees, and my shade garden now has full sun…..but we have firewood…..Mike would say! Ha ha
Anne, thank you for your kind words and your interest! The bridge is 6×18, cost including shipping to Oregon is $165. (If a Californian is reading this, there is an additional $12.78 sales tax, please forgive me, although it is not my fault).
And just to be certain, this bridge is on the Mineral King road, not Highway 198.
