Noon view

Another painting from one of my favorite National Parks, well in this case National monument - Pinnacles NM. This isn't a classic view of the fantastic rock formations, but perhaps a good example of hot Californian scrub vegetation?

I finished this one twice, the first time it sat around looking complete. It was only after photographing it and shrinking the image down, did I see a way to improve the composition. Primarily one of the bushes was too regular in pattern, so I fixed that, and now it's much improved...
