I went camping over Memorial Day weekend up in Coloma near Sac. Here are the two paintings i did by the river. I had to give one away because the owner of the camp ground's daughter just graduated college, we wanted to use it as a card. So all I have left of it is a really crappy picture. I wish I had taken a better one. The second one is not as good as I had hoped. I painted under the sun and that was a very bad idea. I got sun burned on my neck even though it was only 10:30 in the morning.
