Huasna Morning, Hillside Greeting

SOLD. An early summer morning on the wonderful road to Huasna, CA. 

This was painted on location on an early summer morning in the area of Huasna Valley (pronounced 'waazna'), which is very close to me, both in location and in spirit. I've been painting there for many years. It's history lies deep in the Mexican land grant era, and it's name is from the Chumash Indians. If you haven't explored here, you really need to add it to your list! It's near Arroyo Grande, CA. I've heard it used to be an official town and had it's own post office, and you can still see the old school house from 1907.
