Print: Hills of Gold I
If you drive towards San Francisco, in the summer or early fall, from just about any direction, you’ll drive past hills just like this. With just a few lone live oak trees breaking up the curved silhouettes of the grassy slopes. It’s the sight that tells me I’m almost home.

To be fair, the entire central valley of California looks a little bit like this. But that’s what makes it so distinctly “California” for me: the endless dry ochre hills, speckled with dark live oak trees, under the dome of a cerulean cloudless sky. I pushed the colors even further in the paintings in this collection: brighter, deeper, further apart, to really capture the striking contrast between the earth and the sky, the gold against the blue.
