The Pebbled Path to Rocky Nook, lithograph 16 x 12"
We used to live above the Mission in Santa Barbara in the original stream bed of Mission Creek. The stream had been diverted by the Spanish monks to irrigate their olive orchards. This old sandstone boulder sat right outside my studio window with sycamore trees growing around it. It had come to rest there in a prehistoric flood. This litho was one of a suite of fourteen prints I did after I moved to Virginia, "California: Thoughtprints and Footprints." The new stream bed ran along the southern border of Rocky Nook Park and we used to take the cats for walks there. They loved to wade in the fast moving water.
