I love hiking alone early in the morning. Especially if it gets me up above treeline while the light is still really good. And I pretty much never include figures, much less myself, in my paintings, but I just had to make this little homage to hiking solo in the White Mountains in the summer. I took the reference photo on Caps Ridge Trail using a timer. Good thing I was alone, because it looked pretty silly repeated walking back and forth to my camera to get the shot I wanted.
