It's been almost two years since I painted at Eaton Canyon. A lot of plein air painters go there for the scenery. Also a lot of school kids have field trips there for nature walks. On my visit to the nature center two years ago to paint, I was learning how to get more familiar with using gouache. I was ambitious and painted two pieces which I posted in February in Eaton Canyon. This time I tried another gouache piece and included the electric transmission towers. I painted the towers on my second visit to Eaton Canyon and posted that watercolor in Eaton Canyon. The transmission towers are interesting to me and occupy a huge swath of property for miles. I like to include them in my plein air paintings when they are in my view.

Who would think electrical lines could be so beautiful!
