Yesterday I showed you some oil paintings of Sequoia, the non-Mineral King part of the park. Today here are some pencil drawings (I LOVE to draw—did you know that??)
These don’t have sizes and prices. Some are sold, some might be framed, and most are probably just in a flat file in my studio. (If you want to buy any, email me at cabinart AT cabinart DOT NET—written this way so robots won’t bother me any more than they already are—and I will see if I can find the original for you.)
One or two might be available as a reproduction print. (Since I am old now, according to The Beatles, I can’t remember.)
Four Guardsmen (minus the smaller foreground trees that block these giants
Clover Creek Bridge, a fabulous structure NOT built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, one of about 3 pretty bridges in Tulare County. YOU CAN LEARN MORE HERE: Tulare County Treasures
Good morning, Jana. Love these pencil drawings! However, note that the Clover Creek bridge was not built by the CCC. For the story of the Generals Highway Stone Bridges, see https://www.tularecountytreasures.org/generals-highway-stone-bridges.html. The construction contract was awarded in July, 1930, to the Bechtel Co. The CCC did not arrive in SNP until 1933, and, as far as I know (so far), the CCC did no work on these bridges (although the CCC did do a lot of work along the Generals Highway). 🙂
