Yankee Jim's 8x10

I drove down to the American River on Yankee Jim road just out of Colfax today. My parents used to take us swimming at the river there when we were kids. There's an old suspension bridge and a very beautiful bit if river that's definitely worth painting. Today, however, I was drawn to the dry, poppy covered canyon wall.
