Today's #sketchbook practice from a #photograph my daughter sent me on her roadtrip adventures. Painting animals intimidates me but I'm working on it.

6 x 8 oil on linen panel inspired by a photo I took hiking on the Naches Peak Loop trail near #MtRainier

Taking another online course through #jeanneoliver with #roselynbpratt #tendaysofart
