Thiebaud Half Dome and Cloud

The original painting Half Dome and Cloud was done by Wayne Thiebaud in 1975, this is my attempt at recreating the painting for an assignment in my art class last year.

I chose the painting for my "Master Reproduction" assignment (a politically correct term for "Go try and forge a copy of a painting fool" in my honest opinion) because I am a California native, and being from the Central Valley area I'm something of a two hour drive from Yosemite, and I've been there.. you have to go there to truly understand just what it is to stand in Half Dome's shadow.
