Red Mountain

This is a painting of Red Mountain, a mountain near where my brother and his bride live. They have hiked it several times and I decided that I would paint it for them for a wedding gift. I painted it based on several pictures I had. None of them were quite clear, or from the exact angle I was going for, so I mismatched it a bit, but I was told it was recognizable as the appropriate mountain. It was fun to do, not my favorite though. It doesn't have very much going on it, and I sort of got bored at times while painting. I did paint the mountain redder and the sky bluer then I think they typically appear, but I thought that would make it interesting. One interesting tidbit is that after painting most of it I asked for my sister's opinion. She said she saw a lion's face in the foothills on the left. And after that every time I looked at it I saw the lion too. I had to do something about it. So I had to repaint that area. But no, I won't tell you exactly where it was, because then maybe you would see it too, even though I fixed it.
