Greammy's Pictures: (31) Carmel

Mother was fascinated with the solitary, windswept coastal trees, the tree pictures, there are several, wee probably painted in the 1950s when she and my father visited us in China lake via their wintering spot in Arizona. 

Titled Carmel Bay - $275

This large, that is to say huge, painting hung in Mother's Green Valley villa, creating an interesting contrast to the desert scene outside her door.

Someday when I visit this stretch of coastal beauty, and I often do, I hope to spot this rocky beach, this tree of inspiration.  (Jean Ann English - notes of Mother's Pictures)
