Yosemite Tunnel View - OLD


This is another painting of the stunning landscapes I saw out west early this summer as I toured the national parks of California. The Tunnel View Overlook is one of the most famous overlooks in Yosemite National Park, a classic scene for painters and photographers alike. There is no way to capture the overwhelming scale and beauty of Yosemite, or really any of the mountainous west. All I can do is to try and depict the immense spaces, towering cliffs, and stunning light as I saw them, but to truly understand this place, you must go there yourself and see it.

Acrylic painting: 14" x 17"
