"Elizabeth Lake Stream"

Original oil painting by Jeri McDonald. 16x20 canvas. I created this from an actual photo of Yosemite's Elizabeth Lake trail which is hiked from Tuolumne Meadows campground. The experience of this place was like being in a candy store for painters so I took a lot of photos to paint from.

Comment by Jessica Futerman on May 25, 2016 at 7:07: Yes I know what you mean, Jeri! I painted something with acrylics now & really didn't care how much paint I used, as it's so inexpensive & I was much freer in splashing it on!

Comment by Jeri McDonald on May 24, 2016 at 8:29: Thanks to you all. I appreciate your taking time to comment. It seems my stream is the most popular of this painting. I was really trying to highlight my mountains but it didn't come through as such but still, all in all, I feel this painting is a success and will probably paint another on stretched canvas this time. This was a practice one from canvas pad cheap stuff. That seems like always the way when I use the inexpensive practice stuff, I do better and when I use my well primed boards and canvas, I seem to be too careful and I don't relax. Anyone else have that issue?
