"California Spring"


"California Spring" - Oil - 24" x 24" - $700

”Nothing appeals to a California artist as much as the fields of poppies that inflame the hillsides in spring. A favorite subject of the early California Impressionists, these yellow-orange blooms are the state flower. This painting is not a specific place, but a composite of several photo-sketches I had in my files. Whether done in the studio or on location, these are always an inspiration to paint." -- SFG

"Temporary Thaw"




"Temporary Thaw" - Oil - 24" x 24" - SOLD

”It seemed fitting that my first painting in January should be a snow scene. I've painted this meadow in Lassen National Park many times. It has many great compositional elements and the change in seasons always gives it a new look. Here, the snow has been melted by a warm spell, revealing the flowing water below and the reflections on its surface." -- SFG
