"Lancaster Poppies"6 x 8 inches, oil painting of California poppies on plein air panel

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of going out to the Antelope Valley to paint the California poppies during their short bloom season. I used my Strada Easel, which sets up quickly and efficiently, not wasting any of the precious late afternoon light.  The California poppy fields were very colorful although not the best year on record. The Lancaster Poppy Reserve had relatively few blooms compared to some of the areas outside, where I set up to paint.
