A commission and one for fun

Last week I was commissioned to paint a previous plein air daily painting onto a larger panel. We settled 40×30 inches:

Columbia River Gorge Beacon Rock from Rooster Rock 2
Columbia River Gorge Beacon Rock from Rooster Rock 2

Then I could not stop…I had to paint it again, only 48×48. Which one will they choose?

I’m working with the Funny brush again today. I like the layered chaotic brush strokes it makes.

If you  know the name of this slough, please write me a comment. I’ve lost track of where I was when I took the reference photo.
