Description
This is a painting of the West Carson River in Hope Valley. It is where California highways 88 and 89 cross, approximately 15 miles SSE of Lake Tahoe. A friend suggested I go there in the fall to see the colorful fall colors of the trees. Timing is everything, I think I went a little too early and it was not quite as colorful as I thought it would be. When I painted it, I experimented with colored ink to intensify the color.
Here's a description from the Carson Pass website: Hope Valley rests at 7,000 feet on the eastern side of Carson Pass. The valley has long been a favorite destination for fly fishermen, artists, photographers, day hikers, and a host of others who appreciate its beauty. Most famous for its fall colors, Hope Valley is a magnificent destination year-round. In winter its pristine snowfields attract cross country skiers, snowshoers, and snowmobilers.
Its lack of development is one of its greatest features. Visitors scan the meadows and see almost nothing but unspoiled beauty, from its meandering West Carson River to its guardian peaks.
The painting was done with both the colored ink and watercolor paint. This is a mixed media painting.
