Lake Tahoe/Sand Harbor and top of Mt. Rose Hwy Paint-Out

Monika

Monika, Carol, Emma and I met at Sand Harbor/Lake Tahoe on the Nevada side, for a paint-out.  Carol and Emma were on the other side of the beach park, so I didn't get any photos of them.  (Carol just sent me her picture of her painting in progress - here it is:

Carol's rock study

My new oil painting set-up!

Since Monika and I had a head-start and finished our first paintings, we drove up to the top of Mt. Rose Hwy to the "Meadow" and painted.  Although the snow was icy and packed, I thought I'd try out my new gear that fits in a backpack and snow shoe out into the meadow - to see if I could do this....yep!  Passes the test!  I'll write about gear in another post.  I'm going to ask my friends to do a little description of their art gear for me so I can post their ideas too.

Paint-Out in Virginia City, Nevada

Sugar Loaf Mountain

Carol, Emma and I went to Virginia City to paint.  Emma set right up and started her piece, while Carol and I drove around and "scoped".  She later set up near the old train station, and I went on to check out 6-Mile Canyon - a road that goes down a canyon.

I took many pictures, but it was late in the day and I didn't paint.  Emma and Carol did not send me any paintings to post here, so this will be a Kodak-Moment post....of Virginia City in winter....
