Painting

I have been dabbling in some painting again. For years I have been doing water color painting just for fun. Lately, I have been more interested in creating art that I can display in my apartment. Here is one example of a painting that I put in the bathroom to go with the bamboo theme. This was painted using acrylics on a canvas.

This other painting is also acrylics and on canvas, however it is obviously a work in progress. I will post the finished project when it is done. It is supposed to be a rose...hmmm...we will see!

Cerro Alto - Day Hike

Cerro Alto is the highest peak in SLO County with amazing views. Jesse and I took a day hike up there this morning. To the top and back was about 5.5 miles. We were lucky enough to see a helicopter land at the top (cheaters!) about twenty minutes before we got there. We ate a nice lunch at the top and booked it down. From the top we were able to see Morro Rock, Bishop's Peak, Madonna Mountain, and other beautiful sights. If you want to know more about this hike, check out the link below.
