About the painting, "The weather was a little ahead of schedule in Carpinteria, CA, that year and the wildflowers in the field were in full bloom as I discovered as I walked to the far end of the clearing. The towering eucalyptus provided  the stage curtains for the field of violet, while the distance mountains were a dramatic backdrop.  A plein air painting then just seemed to have to happen. "
