Description I found this Yosemite painting at a thrift store and I thought it needed a little something.  I enjoy H.G. Wells classic novel The War of the Worlds, I have read it several dozen times, and I always think to myself, "where else could the Martian invaders have landed and what would they have done there?"  Well, I answered that question by painting in tripods and hikers.  If they landed in Yosemite, they would have fried hikers with their heat ray.  I also have Cthulhu thrift  store painting I did a while back; the link is here midnight-vanburen.deviantart.c….   The rock formation on the left is El Capitan; the one on the right is Half Dome.  I climbed to the top of Half Dome the summer of 2000.  It is, tripods or no tripods, a spectacular view.

Tripods can improve pretty much any painting. And for more proof, here is DLNorton's thrift-store painting:  dlnorton.deviantart.com/art/A-…

This reminds me of  "Global Dispatches. "

That's on my "to read" list, but I have never gotten around to it.
