About this painting:
"Stephens Grove, Miranda - Avenue of the Giants" It is located next to Miranda on the south end of the Avenue of the Giants, is a lovely 0.7-mile loop trail, named after William D. Stephens, California Governor 1917 to 1923. The Eel River runs to the west side of the Stephens Grove. It is wonderful for bird watching, and fall colors on the deciduous trees make for enjoyable river reflections. This painting was done in watercolor with watercolor pencil for small details and some textures. It was inspired by a springtime hike, after a rainstorm that left many large reflective puddles. Contemplative and mesmerizing are words that come to mind.

This redwood grove has a special importance to the artist, enjoying selling and showing her work through Art of the Burl Redwood Gallery in Miranda (6609 Hwy 254 Avenue of the Giants, 707-943-3047). There is an energetic ART community of which she has been delighted to be part for many years. The forest gallery is always growing: KimARTandDesign.com
