    Wow Gini! This is just stunning! Haven’t been there yet! Must do one day! x :o)

  • oh Marilyn it’s wonderful , we went from Kings Canyon through the Merrinee Loop [permit required] to Hemannsburg, we were lucky people we met there were so helpful very casual and you can buy art works direct, although still very expensive, it may have changed now , this was 2002 .Merinee Loop is an adventure on it’s own,disaster driving if not careful! dips in the road are like canyons.
    I only had a ordinary camera so pics aren’t good,[oh ’Alberts Car ’turned out okay]

    Lovely work ginny, nice that your sketches make it to such a great finished painting :) ~ Anni

  • thanks Anni I usually use an artline pen in a small book and sketch as we are driving, not easy sometime to stop in the middle of the road and by te time there is a parking spot it’s miles from where I see something good.
