Sierra Spring (Not for sale)     

acrylic on canvas 48” x 48”

Every year I eagerly anticipate the Sierra foothills coming alive with the colors of spring. To me, it’s a joyous celebration of color and light—almost like flames of flowers and new life bursting forth from the hilltops. Having moved to the Sierra foothills from Los Angeles, I very much felt like Maria in The Sound of Music when we first arrived. I tried to keep the outdoor singing and dancing to a minimum in order to not disturb our neighbors too much.
