These were the sketches and painting I did during my trip to Big Bear. Spring's here so we have to get there to see the snow before everything melts away. Even so, on the second morning, we were seeing little streams trickling down the mountain. Anyway, Big Bear is really pretty with all the snow in the mountains. A friend of mine tried to make a snow angel but failed because the snow was too hard as it has turned to ice. Nevetheless another did some cool stunts but snow surfing down a slope with just his sneakers.
