California painting – Arroyo Seco Pasadena Landscape Oil Painting of Federal Courthouse
Snow on the San Gabriels
(Federal Courthouse with view of the Arroyo Seco)
12 x 16 oil on canvas
The winter storms, which may now be over, often leave rare snowcaps on our local mountains – for a few days. I took advantage of one of these unusual scenes last month. This is a view I have painted before, in the autumn when the sycamores are in full color – and will likely paint again through the years with different weather and seasonal looks.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Casita del Arroyo show yesterday – it was a great day! I’m now looking forward to spring painting in Central California and working on numerous commissioned projects.

I love the cool colors you used for the mountains and the warm colors in the foreground. Really adds to the drama of this beautiful painting.

This kind of scenery is the reason I moved to California from the midwest and your paintings capture the moods very well. I especially like the beauty of the San Gabriel mountains.
