What to Paint?

I gave myself a goal- a project.
I used to do well at competitions- I found one in Yosemite that i think I could spread my wings doing.

It basically is a view from the roadside- A view of what you see when you go there. The canvas is shaped like the National Park Service Arrowhead shaped Icon/Logo.

What you will see here is my progress on this painting. Here is a photo of the sketch on the canvas.
