About the work

This is a companion piece to a painting I made (also here on Minted) called Road Trip 1. I love long road trips, especially since I don't usually drive but get to spend the miles staring out the window and watching the beautiful and changeable world fly by. I often snap pictures of the landscape, and when I get home and back into my studio I sift through the pictures to try and filter and process all of that beauty with my oil paints. This particular picture references a beautiful stretch of land between California and Oregon.
