Nature‘s paintbrush wildly splatters,

Gold and silver, emerald and saphire.

Follwing her dance with joyous abandon,

Spirit soars in California paradise.

Painting outside during California springtime is one of the greatest pleasures life provides. 

Out there in the wild I humbly feel soulful lineage with the early California painters,

who stood in many of the same places, and passionately loved this land as I do.
