Wonderland

 

Another glorious day in the Ruth Bancroft Garden -- my inner child delights!

Poppy House, K Street

 

I loved the billowing clouds of Matilija poppies and wild scattering of California poppies gracing the yard of this vintage home in Livermore in Northern California. It was so fun painting during the "Paint Livermore" event, enjoying the lovely town and seeing old friends again!

Canyon Spirit, Black Diamond

 

I always love painting in this quiet, peaceful valley at Black Diamond Mines near my home in Northern California. In early summer the hills turn to gold and turquoise shadows glow through the oaks and chaparral.

Stone Ruin, Round Valley

 

It was so interesting to discover the remains of this old stone cabin along the trail at Round Valley in Northern California. Roof, doors, windows and inhabitants are long gone and a tree is growing up through the floor. Vintage ranch buildings across the creek are still in use.

Welcome Home, Locke

 

Spent a delightful afternoon in Locke painting among the poppies and grapevines, enjoying the sounds of live music, poetry and friendly voices floating over from a community picnic. Love this town!

Almonds in Bloom

 

Blooming almonds dance with Spring flowers in a quiet country garden. Started while painting en plein air with friends, finished in my colorful imagination (can you tell?)

Golden Morning, Sunol

 

Went back to Main Street in Sunol where the tracks come swooping into town. This time I turned my easel to include the classic old cafe and enjoyed the quiet glow of a Spring morning.
