Journey into the Past 2 - Landscape Scene

While working at the Shepherd of the Hills as a tour guide, I met an very interesting artist who was doing arts and crafts in a small booth.  In my free time between tours I would watch him paint.  I did not know it then but I was subconsciously absorbing much of his techniques sort of like filing it away. I seemed to do my practicing in my head rather than on paper.  One day I pulled out the paint box that my father had given me and laid some color down and this is a sample of one of my first attempts of any painting.
