Hesperia, California II – California has these varied colors and textures in the mountains as they begin to lower and flatten, just before you meet Arizona.
These 2021 landscape drawings are drawn later as I remember the impressions of the landscape during a 2020 road trip with my husband. We drove across country when we moved from California to New England. This was during the beginning COVID, as so many of us were left unable to afford city living and opted to move to the country or closer to family. I remember distinctly we left Los Angeles during the week of a wildfire... Wildfire smoke that itched our throats and that orange hazy sky was clouding up as we packed our last boxes into the moving truck and kicked up behind us as we drove away from the place and people we loved over the last decade. As we drove, the vast sky and arid landscapes of the West felt like fresh air to me. A fullness. But my impressions were so brief, as we drove through. Nothing was open because of COVID, not even national parks or state parks... so we just drove and drove, watching the hills go by from West Coast to East Coast. I watched the landscape from the car window and during the occasional break from driving. We took Route 66, which, as he tells me, was where my husband grew up in his first childhood home– a very old farmhouse from the 1600s. All of these stops are places on the road to our new home together.

Framing Suggestions
Framebridge offers a 'float mounting' option that looks incredibly beautiful for any of the works on paper. ✶ Or, for a different style, Framebridge has a 'mat style' option in White color that would look simply elegant. For pieces larger than 12x12, the 'Standard' mat makes a nice finished look. 'Wide' may result in a very large final frame size. ✶ Custom framing is not currently offered, but I would encourage you to visit your local framer.
Handmade papers will have variations in color, thickness, smoothness, and texture from the organic nature of the handmade process. Additionally, variations will occur when the papers are from different editions created at different times, eg. One piece of art is on a smooth sandy beige paper and the other piece of art is on a slightly rougher darker beige paper. I love this organic natural look and adore how it gives more personality to a room. I'd also love for to you get what you love too, so, if you are purchasing more than one artwork and would like to ensure you receive a pairing or group where the papers match as closely as possible, please contact me, and I'd be happy to help.
