It's a Mess


Next week starts the Cedar Breaks Arts Afire.  The organizers have invited a very nice line-up of painters this year and VSO is, of course, one of them.  We've been up a couple of times for some pre-event work.  It is a damn difficult place paint.  The landscape is a mess, and the painter has to work really hard to simplify it.  Otherwise no one can tell what the painting is about.  Even for me, and I can walk around until I get rid of everything I don't like, it is difficult to make a good picture.  The one at top was about the best I could do.  Though I also liked the dead bristlecone perched over the abyss.
