This painting was done on location during a California Art Club week long paint out this past April. By invitation of the Sequoia Riverlands Land Trust, we painted the foothills & ranches of the Southern Sierra foothills not often seen by the public. It was a spectacular year for the wild flowers. The valleys were covered with white, gold, & purple flowers scattered among the chartreuse leaved oaks. But most amazing were the hills. They were covered with red/orange swaths of California Poppies. The profuse bloom was said to be a 1 in 50 year event. This painting is 8 x 10 on canvas covered panel. SOLD
