'Sardine Lake at the Sierras' by Theresa Oats



My husband and I joined a group of painter friends and traveled to the Sierras for 2-3 days of painting in the mountains.  We painted 'plein air' all day until early evening.  The air was crisp and the colors of the natural world around us were pure and intense.
I painted these mountains first thing in the mornings at Sardine Lake.   Lots of bird life moved between the trees off in the distance and chipmunks scurried around us as we painted along the shoreline.
Eventually I will frame this piece and show it at a local venue.
