One More Autumn Break from Painting

That flowering pear tree!!

A friend and I took a walk around her neighborhood. It is the only traditionally laid out group of homes in Three Rivers, often referred to as “the suburbs” for its resemblance to typical neighborhoods in the non-foothill towns of our county. (Yeppers, we are special here.)

Check out this house! That is a wooden tree, made in four custom panels to fit each window.

Blossom Peak is visible from the ‘burbs, and it looks so different depending on where you stand. (See? special!)

Because this blog is supposed to be promoting my art, here is a painting of the most common view of Blossom Peak, which is actually 3 peaks. One friend has corrected me on the moniker “Blossom Peak” as the name of all three; apparently one is Blossom, one is Britten, and one is a why bother.

And here is a view from the ‘burbs looking up North Fork. It took us a minute to discern that we were actually seeing up the canyon of the North Fork of the Kaweah River, and then I remembered that when one is standing on the Airport Bridge (there used to be an airstrip near the North Fork), Blossom Peak is visible.

Let’s have another visual aid, another oil painting, of course.

Finally, since the point was to enjoy autumn in Three Rivers, here is a final photo of splendid color, Virginia creeper this time.

P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHIRLEY GOODNESS!
