We hiked this trail three weeks ago after stuffing ourselves with dim sum, it was one of the last few sunny weekends before the rain. After the hike we checked out a near by archery ranch which rekindled my desire to be an Elf again. I'm be a dim sum-eating Elf.

Nice painting. After getting to sit and watch you paint, I wonder if this is one of those amazing little paintings you do in that tiny sketchbook. You paintings look large when you post them, but when I saw the real thing, I realized they are tiny and jewel like - as if an elf painted them.
Ah ha! That's where you're fooled! This one is actually 9x11.5 inches. Just when people think you'll zig, you zag! Plus I find with oils, it's better to go bigger, cause it's not like watercolors you can just re-wet, I feel like I have to use up whatever I squeezed out that day so if the area is too small then I'm wasting paint. It's a purely economical concern you see.
