Day 2 Devil's Slide



I painted Devil's Slide (watercolor, 11" x 15") based on a card that I made from a previously sold quarter sheet and from photos that I took yesterday. My neighbor Gina wanted me to recreate a quarter sheet of this famous local spot for her son's birthday present because his children know and like me and my art work.

It was one of my more difficult paintings because I was trying to capture the feel of the original and wanted to please my neighbor. I actually sketched it out with graphite first, something I rarely do. I think that I will paint a couple more of these and let Gina pick.
