The mountains in Southern California are younger and more angular than in Northern California where I  have painted in the past. 
The geometry of the rocks contrasts with the vegetation in a way that is very beautiful to me.
 I often think of fabric as I paint these patterned places. 


This scene in Malibu reminds me of a madras plaid and evokes the endless summer of Southern California's climate.
