California Landscape Oil Painting - Pasadena San Gabriel View

August 28th, 2009

Overlooking Pasadena
14 x 11 oil on canvas

Stately eucalyptus trees line a path overlooking Pasadena/Altadena, looking east and north toward the San Gabriel Mountains. The branches catch the early morning light.

I wish our skies looked like this today. Instead we have angry skies filled with smoke as the Angeles National Forest burns above my home town of La Canada. They say that it will take a week to get the blaze fully contained. I’m hoping that the part of the fireline approaching homes will be extinguished long before that. It just makes us too nervous to see flames so close by.

From the 2 freeway as you drive into La Canada, you see nothing but a canopy of trees - they are so densely grown together. Eucalyptus, pine, palms, deodars - fire could easily jump from treetop to treetop. I hope it doesn’t get loose down here in the foothills. Fortunately the wind is cooperating … so far.
