#24 of 30 - "Commander's Platform Prayer Flags"

"Commander's Platform Prayer Flags" - Beijiang, China 
- Acrylic on Canvas, approx. 16.1x12.4"/410x315mm

We had just been standing in the sun by the side of the largest alpine lake in China. Halfway around the lake, we climbed the hill to the famed "Commander's Platform." Tattered prayer flags still clinging to the posts thrashed and snapped in the wind. Not long after we climbed back down, the storm unleashed its full force. This painting was done alla prima. We'll see if it's "done" or if it's just at that "signed it and staring at it" phase.
