Beverly Hills ArtShow , Blue Heron Farms

 Blue Heron Farms   5x4'  thrown and splattered paint on canvas
Beverly Hills ArtShow 2019 booth #413
sold
This painting is an image, an essence, of my neighbor and friends massive Jacaranda tree that graced her terraced yard. She owned an organic farm and bed and breakfast on our hill and we use to sit on the porch that faced this tree, having coffee and breakfast. She tried to train me to know all the birds on our hill, I was a very sad failure at remembering all their names. But I will never forget the time she pointed out the waxwing pair in this magnificent tree.
There was not enough canvas to give this painting the true essence of magnitude, nor the shower of petals that reined. This one is going to the show. It is a really beautiful painting, that does indicate the technique of 'throwing' along with the experience of that wonderful yard (those are her prize white roses in the distance).
