Into Coal Canyon

click picture to enlarge

This painting is soft pastel over a water color underpainting.  This painting is done on Wallis sanded paper and measures 28"X35".  This painting is the first thing you see once you walk under the 91 freeway and into Coal Canyon.  I had seen this view for years as I went to work.  I did not realize it was part of Chino Hills State Park and I did not see the entrance until I had hiked along the bike trail running from Yorba Linda to Corona.  This is one of my favorite paintings out of my recent efforts.
