Here's a landscape not far from home. It's an unstable area under constant land movement as it slowly slides into the Pacific Ocean. Because of this the pipeline must be above ground and the road requires year round maintenance. After a rain the road can get cracks and vertical drops of several inches overnight.
To make for a better midday painting and give the hillside a dark richness I dropped in a soft shadow from passing overhead clouds. That also made for a better separation of foreground and background.
