Confluence

This large painting was done on location in the blistering sun of the Wenatchee Valley.

I tied this 30" x 30" canvas to a tree trunk in order to keep it from blowing away like a sail, and to keep myself somewhat in the shade.

The acrylic paint was drying out, but that was ok.  I just kept stacking on more layers.  

This was a view of the world from my childhood...  My parents home was just a mile or so from this painting location.
