OK, so I'm not complaining now, just curious. It's going to be 80 degrees out there today and this landscape painter is confused about how to dress:) First it's rainy here in Southern California, then it's cold at night, and now hot-hot-hot! WOW! Watch out for those wildflowers, especially in the desert... where I'm headed in two weeks time. After that I'm off to Joshua Tree. Meanwhile this week I'm tracking down the daffodils in and around the mountain town of Julian and the wild lilacs in the mountains in San Diego's beautiful back country.

I found this lovely spot in a canyon along an arroyo and painted it. What's an arroyo you ask? A good old fashioned creek!

"Canyon in Spring", 6 by 8 inches, oil on canvas mounted to baord. Not for sale.

Happy Birthday to my wondeful husband!!!!
