For those of you who have followed this blog, you may know that I've been in a kind of slump... No muse.
Well, if there is ANYTHING that can get you out of the painting blues, it's getting out into a totally gorgeous spot which can inspire and make your heart sing.
Hidden high up and nestled just below the summit is a little slice of heaven. In July the wild irises are in bloom and spread their delicate pale blue petals across the meadow. California's native Americans, the Chumash, have their gatherings up near the meadow each year and celebrate the beauty of this place they call "the Middle of the Earth".
Five artists traveled up to Frazier Park in July to visit with another artist who lives up there. She had told us stories of wild irises spread out in a little valley. The six of us had one of our best painting days ever. What a joy to be in such a magical place.
Susan Sjoberg invited me up to paint near her home and I brought along four other artists. Painting and eating were Laura Wambsgans, Diane-Nelson Gold, Lorelle Miller and Ernie Dollman. Check out their paintings.
This was the painting I did before lunch. I'll show my "after lunch" painting on another blog post. Funny... I liked the second one better ( I'll show you that one on the next post), but everyone else seems to like this one the best. I was really happy with them both, but liked the 12"x12" I did after lunch the best.
