DOLLAR AUCTION WEEK -- 1 NEW WORK, 2 AUCTIONS DAILY

Comment: "Shasta loses much of its snow in summer, but cloudbursts like this one maintain its drama.

DOLLAR AUCTION WEEK: "Shasta Lennies"

DOLLAR AUCTION WEEK -- 1 NEW WORK, 2 AUCTIONS DAILY

Comment: "Snow-capped Mt. Shasta can be seen for over a 100 miles in northern California and, in my mind, is the queen of the Sierras. This summer evening image shows the shadowed forest at her feet while the red-hued base and sunlit snow glow behind. Since my husband is a pilot, I couldn't help notice the lens-shaped clouds trailing to the northwest as the mountain wave condensed the moisture on the far side.(It can be quite thrilling to unexpectedly encounter that wave in flight.)"  --- SFG Title: "Shasta Lennies"                   Size: 24" x 30"

NOTE TO ARTISTS: This painting is a studio painting based on photos and my firsthand observations. Don't be afraid to experiment with lighting. Lighting, more than almost any other element in a landscape describes the feeling of the artist when he saw the subject. "Pushing it" a bit will intensify the effect. 

"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.
