HALF DOME

half_domeHalf Dome is a granite dome in Yosemite National Park, located in northeastern Mariposa County, California, at the eastern end of Yosemite Valley — possibly Yosemite’s most familiar rock formation. The granite crest rises more than 4,737 ft (1,444 m) above the valley floor. While painting this view in parallel lines brought back as many memories from different excursions in the Yosemite Valley, as many lines in this painting.
