Point Buchon Trail No. 02: Progress

I started this digital painting some months ago of a scene looking south along the Point Buchon Trail on the California Central Coast and recently picked up on it again. I thought I would show the progression of changes from the first to the most recent version. I think It is just about finished. I wanted to try and achieve something of a paint by number feel so I haven’t added textures in the flat colors like I have in other paintings.

The Point Buchon Trail is located on PG&E land in San Luis Obispo County and is an easy and beautiful hike. It is easy to check in at the gate and doesn’t cost anything. Besides the stunning coast line you will see California poppies and other flowers as well as cattle grazing. The trail ends before you come to the nuclear power plant. The day I made the hike I was only able to go a little over half way and I hope to do it again and go the whole way. There was hardly anyone out that sunny day.
