"Painting McVicker - Laguna Canyon" - Oil on Linen

I painted this painting at Willow park (Laguna Canyon) a couple of months ago during the LAPAPA invitational.I had not been happy with something about it and decided it might be the path so I changed it a bit.  I am happy with it now.  The artist in the painting is Jim McVicker.

Finally getting back to painting!   I have been ill for 4 weeks now and had not felt much like painting.  I did a quick couple hour painting, so very much impressionistic which is quite fun.  I call it, "A Touch of Gold".
