This is an updated version of a painting I started two years ago.  The original had good bones, but darn it -- it wanted some poppies!  The location is a trailhead on the north side of Mt. Diablo in Northern California.

Rolling hills and ancient oaks cradle Marsh Creek in this peaceful valley near Brentwood in Northern California.  It was a joy to paint there on a fresh green Spring day!
