Hike Photos from Huntington State Park (November 2022)
I love the regular input of nature soothing my psyche, as well as the color and compositional studies the seasons provide.

Place is not simply location. A place is a profound individuality…
This feels more like painting than drawing, but is a no fuss, no mess approach you can take or do anywhere.
Hear the crunch and swish of fallen leaves underfoot, and the lapping of the water. Inhale deeply that fabulous scent of leaf decay heightened in the crisping air. Look up into the dappled, dramatic canopy. It all is quite exalting.
Thank you for joining me in basking in all this gorgeousness, with more to come!
I loved being surrounded with compositions and textures, trees and rocks, moss and roots, surf and sky. See in this post the vignettes I relished on this fabulous hike.
In the deep fall don’t you imagine the leaves think how comfortable it will be to touch the earth instead of the nothingness of air and the endless freshets of wind?
I love all the color, shape, form and texture. I love the fresh air and paying attention. Being there is good for my soul.
Follow me around through the photos on this post as I revel in my local nature.
This painting aims to capture that special kind of light in the forest during August, that shimmers against the dense depths.
In these photos you can traipse with me these special paths, and see what drew my attention, in all that verdant expanse.
These redwoods were painted as a metaphor to keep in mind.
