The Southern Sierras and Yokohl Valley
These pieces, created on location (I paint primarily en plein air, French for “in the open air”, to study the way light reveals our world) during a painting trip to the Visalia area this last March, will be part of a new exhibition: Paintings from the Southern Sierra Foothills – Celebrating 100 Years: Capturing California’s Preserved Lands and Historic Districts (that’s a mouthful) at the Old Mill (El Molino Viejo) in San Marino, CA. The opening reception will be on Thusday, October 1 from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. Hope you can make it! This paint-out and exhibition, organized by the California Art Club in conjunction with the Sequoia Riverlands Trust, is one of a number of exhibitions and events to celebrate the CAC’s 100th anniversary of its founding in 1909.

“The beauty of a picture results from the way spots of color are brought together.” –I wish I had said that!
Nice design of your blog.
Hi Café – thanks for visiting. It’s a great quote, isn’t it? The artist Charles Hawthorne is the author of it.
Hope you can make this exhibition opening October 1 – maybe it would be something fun to post on your blog!
These look great, Eric! I love the way you simplify forms.
I’ll be up in Pasadena later this week, let’s hang.
