Sequoia Oil Paintings

Sometimes I write things about Tulare County that sound rude; they are simply the truth.

However, in addition to the fact that we are all fat, poor, undereducated, and have bad air, we have SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK!

Here are four Sequoia oil paintings, drying in the sun on the driveway in front of my painting workshop building.

So, I paint Sequoia trees. Every time I go to Sequoia, which we simply refer to as “The Park”, I look for good trees to photograph. Then, I paint from the photos. As time passes and the experiences mount up, I am more able to make up trees. The photos guide me, but then I just pants it. (Did you know that “pants” can be a verb?”)

Big Tree Trunk, oil on wrapped canvas, 6×12″, $145
Sequoia Gigantea IV, 6×18″, oil on wrapped canvas, $190
Sequoia Pair II, oil on wrapped canvas, 6×18″, $190

And remember, here in Tulare County we are fat, diabetic, uneducated, unemployed, and without a Trader Joe’s, although we now have an Aldi’s and a Sprouts. . . moving up in the world.

P.S. All three Sequoia oil paintings are available to view and to purchase at Kaweah Arts in Three Rivers, now located in The Dome, just downstream from Reimer’s Candies.

Tomorrow: Better Than Before
