Description
While sitting at the Gold Country Fair in Auburn art show, CA, I did two demo paintings. This is the second one I painted with Mississippi Bar as the subject.
Lake Natoma is managed as part of Folsom Lake SRA, State of California. Negro Bar State Park and Mississippi Bar are located on its northwestern shores, while Folsom Powerhouse State Historic Park, Willow Creek Recreation Area, and Nimbus Dam Recreation Area are located on its southeastern shores.
Mississippi Bar is a large flat river terrace along the western shore of the Lake Natoma between Lake Overlook and Negro Bar. The area includes a rich variety of the habitat types, including interior live oak woodland, blue oak woodland and savanna, grassland, and riparian woodland. However, the majority of Mississippi Bar has also been previously disturbed by activities associated with early gold exploration and more recent aggregate mining. The primary physical features that dominate this landscape include dredge tailings—piles of cobblestones several stories high—and several lagoons and ponds that were created in an attempt to restore the area when mining activity ceased. Some of these lagoons and ponds are accessible by canoe or kayak from Lake Natoma.
This watercolor was done on Arches 12" X 16" cold press 140 lb watercolor paper.
