June Mountains

9-1/2 X 12 X 1/2

Pastel

I’ve kept myself busy the last couple of months making a quilt for my granddaughter’s first birthday, greeting my son & his friend Blair at the conclusion of the AIDS Life Cycle 7 day ride from SF to LA, entertaining said very active grandchild and generally goofing off.  (It’s summer, isn’t it?)

But now it’s time to get serious and make new art…..as if I needed a reason!    I’ll be displaying 7 paintings (probably all or mostly pastels…sometimes a watercolor creeps in there when I’m not looking)at the Gateway Commercial Bank as part of the Lakewood Artists Guild’s “Art About Town” on-going event.  A couple of months ago, I was in a chiropractor’s office in Los Alamitos.  The bank location is just a little bit closer at 4146 Woodruff Ave., Lakewood……for those who may choose to stop by.

This first painting is, of course, celebrating our gorgeous California Poppies as they spread their wonderful spring color along our mountain slopes.  Please enjoy!
