An old pepper tree, a typical California sight, leans over a dusty summer hillside in California. The spring grasses have turned dusty brown, but wildflowers are still flourishing.

California impressionist painting - Landscape Oil Painting - Gaviota Springtime - California Art Club Gold Medal Show 100th Anniversary 2011

 

Gaviota Springtime

11 x 14 oil on linen plein air panel

SOLD in the 100th Anniversary of the California Art Club

Gold Medal Show, 2011, Pasadena Museum of California Art

This painting was exhibited and sold at the Pasadena Museum of California Art in Pasadena, California. It was also featured in an editorial article in the April 2011 issue of American Art Collector magazine.

It represents a graceful eucalyptus tree, arching over a springtime meadow near the coastline town of Gaviota, north of Santa Barbara. This central coast California painting is in the spirit of the early California impressionist painters such as Granville Redmond and others, who captured the natural beauty of the state and were the founders of the California Art Club 100 years ago.

Bishop Peak Oil Painting, San Luis Obispo, Central Coast California Art

"Farm at Bishop Peak"
San Luis Obispo, Central Coast
oil painting
14 x 18 inches

When I was painting in San Luis Obispo County earlier this spring with the California Art Club, I was especially attracted to the numerous large peaks that rise from the city of San Luis Obispo out to the sea, the last of which is Morro Rock. Bishop Peak (sometimes called Bishop's Peak) is one of the Nine Sisters. Technically they are "volcanic plugs," and the volcanoes that rose above them are long gone. Bishop Peak is the tallest of the formations, and it was noted in the diary of John Muir who wrote:

"The trail brings the traveler suddenly in sight of
Bishop Peak ... The town is fairly encircled with beautiful hills...
the one just named being most conspicuous."

The soft afternoon light and atmospheric mist from the sea made this a picture of rural tranquility that held great appeal for me.

California Art Club South Pasadena Paint Out - Rialto Visions

SOLD

"The Rialto"
9 x 12
plein air oil painting on panel

See more of my Pasadena paintings here

 

Last Sunday, a group of 30 or more plein air painters affiliated with the California Art Club gathered together in South Pasadena for a paint-out at the venerable Rialto Theater, which has fallen into disrepair in the past few years. The paintings which we created will be sold and a portion of the proceeds will go to restoring The Rialto to its former glory. Some of us also painted other scenes of South Pasadena, which I will be posting here and on My Gallery website.


I arrived at the event in the afternoon and caught the building in partial shade from across the street.

Although there were promos on the marquee for movies and theater rentals, I opted to leave it empty so that a potential purchaser could always imagine their favorite flick playing there, and relive some fond memories.
