California, Oil Painting

CALIFORNIA, 36" x 36", o/c

I grew up in central California, practically right in the middle of the state where those who lived there were surrounded by fields of alfalfa and  cotton, walnut orchards and fruit trees. In the distance was the Sierra Nevada, softly blue, lying in her majesty, and where my family drove to camp outdoors many times. These 54 squares  state my thoughts and love for California, the rich, loamy soil, redwood trees and occasional painted skies, my home.
