My daughter Micole and I went to Yosemite National Park in early June this year. We were there for a week and on the last day I sat down along the Merced River across from the Yosemite Chapel and painted most of this. I added some finishing touches when I got home. What I didn't put in were the increasingly drunken tourists watching their children play in the water on the beach on the other side of the river. June in Yosemite!
This painting is a watercolor and measures 7 x 10 1/4 inches. I have a bad habit of painting too far to the edges and then don't want to loose any of the image so I may just float this on mat board and then put another cut window mat 1/4 inch away from the edges.
I've opened a shop on Etsy. It's under my name, Darlece Cleveland. If you're interested in purchasing this painting it's available there.
