Love Apple Farm 2

I love drawing the layers and layers of this hillside farm. All the terraces and levels step down the hillside with the water tower at the top and the redwood forest down below. The chicken yard above the campfire ring; the raised beds on terraces that snake around the hillside; and tucked into it all the toolshed and cottages and greenhouse.

Owl with mouse

I love owls! Especially barn owls. I painted the background first, in acrylics. Than I painted the owl on top with black and white acrylics, and pen.

This is a painting of a tribal mask from the northwest that belongs to my aunt.

Love Apple Farm

I lived at Love Apple Farm in Santa Cruz for 3 years. Much of my art is inspired by this wonderful place.
