Mustard on Chalk Hill

"Mustard On Chalk Hill"

5" X 7" Oil on Panel
At the end of our street is a field that looks south across the Santa Ynez Valley. The view from the Chalk Hill area is one I have really grown to love. When the weather changes I am never far from my camera. The changes in weather or in seasons usually bring awesome vistas over the valley. This scene was back at the beginning of Spring when the mustard began to bloom here in California. This years mustard was incredible and even the drive along the freeway was a steady stream of mustard and other wildflowers.

"Mustard In The Valley"

5"X 7" Oil on panel

Spring along the Central Coast brings an abundant display of wild mustard. Any drive along the freeways in CA is most likely lined with mustard in bloom. I've painted the mustard many times now and have a great time varying the intensity of it's golden yellow color. In this scene I've toned it down some. This helps it to blend in more with the scene but in reality anywhere mustard grows it commands all of the attention.
