Hi Pippin! I hate it when you have a campout, but at least you are camouflaged pretty well in the non-spring months.

Couldn’t think of anything to say about today’s paintings except that I might have enough sequoia/redwood/big tree paintings for a little while. Might have had a bit too much fun at the class reunion (Redwood High School, Visalia, Class of ’77) to be very articulate. (No, I don’t drink, but lack of sleep has similar outcomes of stupidity and dull-wittedness).

Sequoia, Big Tree, or Redwood?

Sequoia, Big Tree, or Redwood? 

All three work. 

Redwood High School class of ’77 45th reunion is this weekend. So few people are attending that it was moved to a smaller location (no, not Goshen or Farmersville or Ivanhoe). I will be attending because many people travel great distances to go, and it would be quite rude if I couldn’t be bothered to go 35 miles to Visalia. Besides, maybe someone will show up who likes and then buys my work. “Networking”, I think it is called. Now, back to production.

Three paintings are now completed and ready for display and sale at Kaweah Arts in Three Rivers.

In the Big Trees, 8×10″, oil on wrapped canvas, $125 (plus Calif. sales tax)

Sequoia, 8×8″, oil on wrapped canvas, $100 (plus you know)

Big Tree, 6×6″, oil on wrapped canvas, $65 (plus. . . sigh.)

 

Finding titles for these pieces is quite the chore. Painting them is easy, because now I have enough experience that I can make them up, using a photo just to get a clue.

Sequoia Paintings

Because my website is still non-functional and there are folks who might want to see which paintings are available, this posting will consist entirely of paintings of The Big Trees, Sequoia Gigantea, Redwoods.

Just the facts: A few little tidbits about all the names:  “The Big Trees” was how we referred to them when I was growing up in the flatlands of Tulare County. When I attended Redwood High School, our newspaper was called “The Sequoia Gigantea”. The coastal redwoods of California are also Sequoias, but their last name is Sempervirens and they are the tallest trees; the Gigantea are the largest by volume.
