This is my third California Aqueduct painting. In Valyermo, the Aqueduct ends abruptly to go under a property. This view makes me think of a swimming pool with its rope of floats and small utility building. The Aqueduct's concrete cover crosses a wash, passes fields and a park (or is that a golf course?). I redirected the concrete path for the sake of composition. There are many Aqueduct access points with off road pullouts in Valyermo, convenient for positioning my car (mobile studio) for shade. Juniper and sage, distant fields and mountains; painting the Aqueduct in the desert is always a treat. May 2015
