Drippy, gray skies working their way through June.
Had a great escape to the Sierras with a diversion to Humboldt county for a few days for family celebrations. Nice to see a different landscape and do some painting in a different environment.

Coming up next month at the Santa Paula Art Museum is the "Art and Aviation" juried show, July 16 - October 16. I have 'plane air landscape' - my continuing fascination with contrails and how they create a modern skyscape - something Turner or Monet would have never imagined.

And also coming up in July - I was accepted into the California State Fair Fine Art competition (180 works chosen from 1200 entries) - pretty exciting. This will be on view in Sacramento from July 8 - 24.
