California is filled with open space and ranchlands; in fact, according to the US Department of Agriculture:
Over a third of the country’s vegetables and two-thirds of the country’s fruits and nuts are grown in California. California is the leading US state for cash farm receipts, accounting for over 13 percent of the nation’s total agricultural value.
So, California is far more than rich people, Los Angeles, and movie stars. Where I live, agriculture is a major industry. It is around little towns and large suburban areas that you find ranches, for flowers, avocados, citrus, strawberries, and vegetables. Here, a view of a ranch in Santa Paula, taken from a train ride several years ago. The original photo is below.

That one looks a bit slapdash, are you rebelling against the precision of pointilism? 😉 🙂
I am always in a state of rebellion! It keeps me sane.
Much life on your painting, Ms. Rebel! Thank you!
Beautiful. I so agree with the comment above – your paintings are full of life.
Hahahaha! That got me a good laugh!
Thanks, Margaret! Glad you enjoy them. I admit, it is fun to have a bit of an audience. It helps!
That was the intent. Now it is my time to laugh. You and yours have a great evening and stay safe! 🙂
