Sketched this one Fall 2009 along the Deschutes River, down stream from Sherars Falls. Finally got into it and got it done or mostly done. Practicing working on larger canvases. My second oil. They’re delicious, like acrylics but so creamy, and the blends are amazing.

(Below is an earlier version. I worked on the trees and water shadows on the left and a few other things, giving the above.)
