This new piece revisits a favorite photo image of mine. Taken on the exit road of a beautiful winery in Sonoma, California. The breeze was blowing and the golden sun was bouncing off the tips of these beautiful purplish red plum trees. It was a riot of color, and such a strong bit of natural design with the deep shadows and clear blue sky, dotted with cotton candy clouds. I just love that place...can't you tell?

"The Guardians" is offered framed in a wide, dark brown, plein air style frame with UV/non-glare museum glass. Ready to hang and enjoy. $365 + $35 to ship anywhere in the continental US or Canada, or pick up at my Spanish Village studio and I'll refund the shipping. Updated 4/26/15: Sold!
