october sierras

spent a week at the cabin in the central sierras - closing up for winter and enjoying the peace and quiet. weather is still warm and mild, though there was a hopeful bit of rain.
went out to catch some of the local fall color - brush, willow and aspen, ferns and sedges - hiking about with a small, portable kit.

Also started on new work from a day trip to the santa ynez river with the 'rose compass' group. we will be posting our work on a new website soon. there are 6 of us working toward a show at the Wildling Museum next year about the Santa Ynez river watershed.

Currently at the Wildling is a beautiful exhibit from the SCAPE group, "Places of the Heart" which will be up until the 23rd of October. Juror Eric Merrill chose a very strong show. 

I have a small painting from Figueroa mountain included:
