California Dreaming
Acrylic on Canvas
40" x 30"
 
We drove from Yosemite National Park to Monterrey, California a few years ago.  The rolling hills were so unlike the fir covered mountains in Oregon.  I was fascinated by the simplicity of the grass covered hills and when the sun was setting....magic.....the glow on the hills was inspirational.  
 
 
Sunlit Poppies
Watercolor on Arches 130 lb paper
 
Everyone loves red poppies.  They are show stoppers in any garden.  I've been working on my yard and garden for over 30 years and these red poppies with the sun rising behind them just had to be painted to capture that summer morning witness of nature's beauty at its best. 
 
These are my two paintings chosen for this show.  I'm delighted!  Thank you Mike Hill.
 
Stop in and see all the paintings in this show.  It will be worth your time.
