Goldfields Below Fossil Ridge, Camatta

I’m excited to share my new oil painting, *Goldfields below Fossil Ridge*. Measuring just 6 by 8 inches, this piece captures a quiet moment where the muted light of an overcast day meets the bright glow of wildflowers stretching across the land. Painted on location, I wanted to bring forward the gentle contrasts between the cool, bluish foliage and the warm earth tones of the rolling hills beyond.

There’s a stillness here—a feeling of light breaking through the clouds, soft yet resilient—that invites reflection and a deeper connection to the landscape. I hope this painting offers a small reminder of the beauty found even in the most understated moments.

It is a tribute to The Land Conservancy of San Luis Obispo County and Camatta Ranch, for preserving this land forever.
