The little speck in the blue water is David Hamblin and Tim of Granite Construction leaving me to paint for the day.
I hope to paint from this vantage point when the river is being restored with step pools for the steelhead and plants to create new habitat.

View of San Clemente Dam from west tributary of the Carmel River, painted February 19, 27 and March 5, 2015.
I hope to paint from this vantage point when the water has been drained from the reservoir (planned for April 15-May 5) to make way for the dam to come down this summer.

The combination of photographs and paintings emerging from the scenery and developing over time is fascinating, Paola!

It's really fun to see where and how you're able to do these incredible paintings. I hope Cal-Am is taking good notice of what you're doing!
