Monumental Miniatures 2022. California Art Club Exhibition

“ Rising” Plein air watercolor will be on exhibit at the California Art Club Gallery at the Old Mill from September 29 to January 22 2023. 

One of just 54 highly curated images I am pleased to have this painting of Font’s Point in the exhibit. A lesser known part of California history, Font’s Point was on the route discovering a link from the Spanish settlements in Arizona to the ones in California. 

“Rising “ was an afternoon painting where I felt heat rising off the land . It was painted during the Borrego Springs Plein Air Invitational.

 I was able to complete 9 paintings because of the nearly perfect weather conditions and the painting at the top of this post was awarded second prize by juror Patty McGeeney. Thank you to the jurors , the Borrego Art Institute, sponsors , hosts , volunteers and art appreciators who all made this event possible. The exhibit is on display through April 3rd and is well worth a trip.
