"Redding Rooftops"

"Redding Rooftops" - Oil - 8" x 10"

"So often, when painting on location, the better subject turns out to be behind me. After I had finished my first painting of the day, I turned around and saw this composition that did not register when I first arrived at the site. I peered through the foreground trees to see the enough to execute the work." --- SFG.

"Sierra October"

"Sierra October" - Oil - 16" x 20" - $350

"This beautiful mountain scene is on the east side of the Sierras near Bishop,
California. Skiers may pass it as they travel to Mammoth, California. It was a
little early for skiing, but breathtaking, nonetheless." --- SFG

NOTE TO ARTISTS: I often use cloud shadows to create a workable composition and
lead the eye to the focal point. The S-curve is another common device that
works, but shouldn't be too obvious.
