A Day in Obidos

Among the Grasses

Three Reds #2
$1,600.00
This painting was inspired by a visit to Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia. I was on the lookout for very old trees in the state of Virginia, which prompted the visit to the cemetery. These locations are perfect for spotting old specimens. After driving into the driveway, I looked over to see trees that looked like redwoods. Sure enough, the tags on the trees indicated that I was right. California redwoods in Virginia. How lovely and amazing.
