This is a fine view of Farewell Gap, as seen from Timber Gap. Timber Gap is not as high, and it is only about 2 miles to the top. It is a good warm-up for the trip to Farewell Gap, because looking across the valley makes one want to visit the other places! i think the blue flowers were Flax.  Some painting notes: this was from about a year ago when I was experimenting with a looser style. My tendency is to draw with the paintbrush and then be very frustrated when the results are less refined than my pencil drawings. On this one, I was determined to look like a Real Oil Painter instead of a Pencil Artist Who Paints. Some days I have to put down the paintbrush and deliberately walk away from the easel because I WANT TO DRAW!!! more accurately, I want my paintings to look like drawings, and that is not the nature of the beast. (Okay, fine, TAME THAT BEAST!!!)
