oil on canvas panel 11" by 14" plein air. After helpful input from Michael Severin, Olivia O,Carra and Jon Main; I cleaned up my treetops and integrated the foreground with the trees by putting some green in the grass. It only takes an inch or so of rain to get the green grass back and it's raining pretty good today--badly needed in N. CA because we have been in a drought for 2 years.

This is looking great Stu
Thanks Dor. The first time I ever painted there was 10 days ago. I have a bunch of reference photos and will probably paint something else from the 300 degree view up there and go back up there to paint plein air again in the next few months. There are some stunning vistas where I live and it's hard to paint them all. Stu
"I'm gonna go down the hill to the sea" I hope you will do other paintings from this exceptional view. :-)
Thanks for your help and comments, Jon. Stu
Yep, improved - Nice design, and I love the idea I'm gonna go down the hill to the sea - good one, Stu!
I didn't see the first one Stu but I like the interesting shapes and composition. Also nice use of darks, they make the light on the path and rocks shine. I just returned from a week in the Carson valley and Lake Tahoe. The beauty of fall was amazing ! I painted one plain air and another that I started but the wind was nuisance so I had to stop and chase my hat then grab my easel etc. Will finish and post this week when possible.
This is huge different compared with previous version. Nice fix Stu!
