Red Ridge, Central Oregon, oil 8" x 8"

Another 8" square panel that did not work out in time for the Big 500, had to scrape it off and re-do

the red ridge.  Lately I've been enjoying scraping and wiping off as much as painting!  There is something about the dramatic shapes and colors of the painted hills near Prineville and Oregon central desert geography that sometimes looks unreal in a painting.  So I just keep trying to capture the rugged beauty.
