Oil on Canvas 30" x 40" $700

I am primarily a self-taught artist. I tend to stray from the traditional forms of painting. I paint from my soul and my gut, so my paintings sometimes sit outside traditional mainstream art. Landscapes have recently been an important part of my work and artistic organic flow. The paintings presented here are from the Hahamongna Watershed Arroyo Park where I live and walk. They are of the trails and paths that lead to Angeles Crest Forest in Altadena, California. I paint all the seasons, the landscapes that change daily, the winter rains that produce instant streams filled with lovely color, and the amazing cloud formations and sunsets. The sturdy and looming oak trees that embrace each other and hug the trails that can climb the hillsides and cast dappled sun drops scattered along with the trail floors are my favorite; a surreal lush of light. 77 Contact information for this artist can be found on page 89.
