Hill at Carmel Valley in 11th Best of Plein Air LPAPA Opening June 6th,6 to 9 pm

'Hill at Carmel Valley" 12 x 16 was JUST painted at the Carmel Art Festival, I entered it in this because there is a very tight turn around, you really have to enter things that are already framed in order to ship them immediately..
One thing  I am happy to see is the robust showing by watercolorists in this: Linda Gunn, Robin Rogers Cloud, Larry Cannon and Patti Clifton as well as fellow works on paper pastelist Clark Mitchell. The entire exhibt is online at
