It was such a beautiful day when I did this painting. Sandstone Ranch is about a 30 minute drive from my home. It is out on the plains with wonderful views of the mountains. As I wandered down the trail looking for a place to paint, I found this wonderful cliff and a view of the mountains to the West. There was also a perfect focal point. I often have trouble with focal points because I just get so taken in by the beautiful scenes and I want to put everything in and everything is important! But here, the composition came together and I had a lovely little painting.
