It was a beautiful, sunny day in San Francisco today — 73 degrees! I loaded up a small pochade kit on my bike, and headed down to Golden Gate Park. After riding around quite a bit, I saw this view looking south from Stow Lake. The challenge I set for myself was to both simplify the landscape, and represent clear color separation. There are several types of greens in this painting. Enjoy!
