Morning Hike

oil 9"x9"

My family had a reunion in Colorado recently.  We build in lots of time to do what we want, so groups of us head out to hike, rock climb, shop or visit museums or music venues.  One morning we went hiking with one of my sisters and her husband.  It was a beautiful, cool day in Estes Park.  I am showing my initial sketch below and how I finished it above.  I love the bands of color and the structural relationships.
