YOSEMITE FULL MOON PAINTING FROM ONE OF MY WORKSHOPS



This oil painting was from one of my Yosemite Painting truips.  Unfortunately after 10 years of wonderful, fun and adventurous trips to Yosemite I will not be doing it this year, but possibly sometime in the future.  My wonderful travel agent has health issues and I cannot do it without her.  She always made our trip a wonderful stay with love and comfort.
