Setting Sun Upon the Hills

This painting of Chino Hills State Park is one of the more dramatic paintings I have done.  The light of this late afternoon was very intense.  This painting is of a late August afternoon.  It was the dramatic contrast of the colors in the shadows and the highlights on the hills that caught my attention.  This painting is a soft pastel over a water color underpainting.  The painting measures 27"X35".
