After the Rain

I love to walk in the Whittier hills near where I live to sketch the trees and the view toward the ocean. I made a few pencil sketches near the Arroyo Pescadero Trail Head, trying to capture the light coming through the trees and other plants on the hill. I am inspired by the quality of light on the hill, especially after it has rained.
These trees from my sketchbook are ink contour drawings I did while looking out my studio window. I needed trees for the painting, "After the Rain", so I included two of the trees to complete the composition.
