MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD by Jon Crane -- Fine Art Watercolors

The first summer that Jon spent at his land at Mystic (before he had any structures, or responsibilities) he took a long hike down Rapid Creek to long abandoned townsite of Canyon City, upstream from Silver City.  He loved the way that the light shone gold in the water.  He named it “More Precious than Gold” because sights like this are much more precious than the gold that these hills and streams produce.
