Sunlight on Vasona

I'm pretty happy with this painting. It captures the dusk light pretty well if I don't say so myself. This is based on a shot I took of Vasona lake in April.

This is the site that rewards you at the end of the Los Gatos Trail after a long bike ride. I have atempted another painting recently of this scene zoomed out further... that ... ah... didn't go so well but I'm sure I'll be painting this scene more in the future anyway.

BTW this painting and the previous were painted on canvas panels. I've since switched to painting on wood panels. The canvas texture at 6x8 seems a touch to much so I've opted for painting on a smoother substrate.
