today's painting

Unexpected Treasure. 
Oil on wood panel, 9 x 12.

I normally drive out to the country, looking for painting spots. Today, I noticed a ravine, nestled in between an apartment, and a bar, right in town. On a whim, I parked the car, and climbed down the embankment to see what was down there. Imagine my surprise to find this gorgeous 
little stream, winding through the gully, complete with mini waterfalls every fifty feet or so. Five minutes from my home:)
