This landscape painter just got back recently from a driving trip to Idyllwild. I love that drive, especially this time of year through the high desert. I was all ready with a stack of canvas goo-to-go in the back seat. Here's the first one fresh off my easel, started on the drive up and finished in the studio. WOW! That light!

I'm offering this one on eBay at the ridiculously low opening bid of just $125. The economy is awful... maybe this is a depression. Sure feels like it cause the US Postal Service is to lay off 40,000 employees. That said, people need some art in their lives so this painting is up for auction. Here's the link:
