I spent a week in Yosemite National Park up at Tuolumne Meadows. It probably doesn't need to be said but the place is really amazing. Every direction you walk in there is something amazing to see. Besides painting 11 paintings in 6 days I enjoyed swimming in the rivers and lakes, finding mushrooms with my friend and basking on the warm rocks. Now I understand why Yosemite has such a special place in people hearts. I will paint the next pieces as I clean them from all the trail dust and bugs stuck to them.
