Back to the hills

Last week I went back to the hills at Sandstone Ranch and painted another painting of the same general area where I painted 'January Hills" back in the winter. This time it looks a lot greener. The bushes are starting to sprout and grasses are starting to fill in around the rocks and shrubbery. Trees now have new leaves on them. There are no real flowers blooming yet. I plan to go back in the summer and fall and do 2 more paintings and get a full set in the different seasons. Here is May Hills, 8 x 10. It was a kind of an overcast day, threatening rain, but I managed to finish without getting wet. Below is the one from January also.
