Paint the Parks Project

The Paint the Parks Project was initially inspired by the ongoing threat of closure of some of our most wonderful Parks due to budget cuts and reduced funding on a State and National level.

As a plein air painter/artist, I do much of my painting in National, State and County Parks. Preservation of open space for future generations is an effort I am truly committed to.

I am part of a group of plein air artists have therefore committed ourselves to donating 10% of the sales of paintings of our parks to help with ongoing funding of these regional and national treasures.

We are truly grateful to prior generations who had the wisdom and forethought to set aside vast tracts of land in the United States as special places to be saved and preserved for future generations. Yellowstone National Park, The Grand Canyon National Park, Arcadia National Park, Yosemite National Park, Grand Teton National Park to name just a few.

Each State has also preserved large parcels of land for State and County parks - each wonderful and unique in their own right.

Redwood Giant at Henry Cowell State Park, Felton, California

This plein air painting of a giant redwood tree was done on location at Henry Cowell State Park in Felton California. Not many artists seem to paint these amazing trees. They are difficult to get to for one thing. Also, because of the low light situation in the redwood forest, they are a challenging subject.

In order to give some idea of the size of the tree, I painted in a small family group (who just happened to come along at the right time). Without the perspective of the human figure, it would be difficult to convey the size of the tree.
