Painting the Foothills


"Foot Of The Figueroas"
12"x16" Oil on Canvas
The Figueroa mountains line the northern half of our valley. My backyard is pointed right at them so I get to see them throughout the year in various light and shadow. I grew up right below the San Gabriel mountains living less than 2 miles from their base. Always having large mountains within walking distance has sort of stuck with me and I think I'd go crazy living anywhere away from the mountains.

    The familiar is of such great interest to me. I'm a flatlander from just below sea level. We know what to watch for, do we not? This is a beautiful painting.

    Hi Suzanne....painting what you know and love is a great way to beat finding the needing inspiration. I'm a flatlander too but enjoy a big wall of mountains out the window, haha. Thanks Suzanne!!

    ACC...thanks a lot for the comments. I appreciate it.
