Convict Creek-eastern Sierras

Congrats on your sale! L/F

Beautiful!. I love the composition, and the colors, and the light reflected on the creek. I have wondered about painting those sharp cliffs and spires that rise from the lake. Their colors are so dramatic and their strata so contorted, I have thought they are a prime example of something you would "believe" in a photo but that might not look credible in a painting. You solved the problem by subduing them, to subordinate them to the overall composition.

Thank you All for your comments! I appreciate the kind words very much. -Joe

Great job on this one. It looks a lot like the countryside in Washington State. I've added this one to my favorites. Judy

What a wonderful painted scenery you have created Joe! I love the rich colors and reflections ... just beautiful ... congrats! My best, Juergen

Stunning! Love the way the water leads us into the painting. Deep, rich colors and contrasts. Congratulations, Joe!
