This painting measures 18"X 30". This pastel painting is on sanded paper and started with a water color under painting. The reference photos were taken from the back yard of a home that burnt down during the Chino Hills fire a couple of years ago. In the past year I have been searching out locations like this because of their view. This fire caused a evacuation of our neighborhood. The fire got a couple of hundred yards away. I remember staying back at the house, keeping it wet with the garden hose, and watching out for some of the neighbors. Although it has been about four years, some of the 20 odd houses that had burned down have not been replaced. The views from these back yards are amazing and would not be possible if not for their misfortune.
