Back Bay Eucalyptus

I was back at Newport Back Bay on Thursday afternoon and evening, painting a favorite stand of eucalyptus trees on University Ave. on the other side of the street from the YMCA.

This view is from the first path leaving the parking lot of the Muth Nature Center. At sunset the colors of the trees and bark glow with deep orangey greens and reds, while the  sages, buckwheats, mustards and who knows how many more kinds of chaparel type plants just light up the foreground. Another painting to save for our exhibit in July to benefit the Back Bay.
