Early Ending

Lucy the Art Bus did her best to complete the trip but her old age has prevented that. With 30 engine problems reported by her on-board computer, she just couldn’t keep up.

Her help with this project was enormous and she was ideally suited as a mobile art studio, camper, and excursion vehicle. Without her, I am ending the trip in Santa Rosa, California and heading back home to my loving family.

I’ve learned a lot about traveling as an artist and what works for plein air watercolor painting. With the right equipment, I can keep this up.

California Winter

California in Winter, 25" x 20" watercolor on paper

East of Fresno, California there are many, many orange orchards. What I found fascinating is that the farmers trim the trees flat on all sides. I’m sure there is a reason for that but it’s an interesting landscape to see cubes of trees as far as the eye can see. Well, almost as far.

What is stunning in Winter is the deep blue sky and the snow capped mountains.

The two together makes for a curious fantastic view of Winter in California as I have illustrated below.

I took this concept and made larger painting with a different look. Which one is your favorite?
