In December 2015 we painted at Lizzie's Trail Inn in Sierra Madre. It was drizzling on and off that day but I managed a quick gouache piece,
Drizzle at Lizzie's. We returned to Lizzie's a few weeks ago on a beautiful Saturday.
Lizzie's Trail Inn is behind the 1890's Richardson House which is at the foot of the Mt. Wilson Trail, made in 1894. This is a very popular and busy neighborhood on a Saturday. Lots of hikers. Lots of cars. I ended up choosing the same tree to paint under as I did on my previous paint-out there. It's out of the way and I liked my view behind the rustic old buildings. I tried another small gouache piece. As the sun moved, the light on the white building kept changing and I was happy I was using the opaque gouache so I could change the shadows a little.

You are such a good painter, Sherry. I love the way you zoomed into the house and captured the warm light bounce into the shadow. Adding the flowers made my heart happy so I think you improved on the photo 100%!!
