Left Mitten

After painting the previous early morning view, we drove a ways further along the dusty rutted road and I found this second view of the famous Left Mitten. The colors never ceased to amaze me; even close to noon the reds appeared too saturated to be real, as were the beautiful pinks and violets of the distant buttes. After this we went back to camp for lunch and a rest before heading out for the late afternoon painting, which was not a keeper unfortunately. Can't win them all.
