Painting with both DaGroup and Eastbay Landscape painters, I was able to experience the lush greens of our very wet winter and beautiful spring. The late winter reds of Sedge Marsh were caught just at dusk, while the same location on a foggy afternoon drew out the purples from the surroundings.  One Sunday we were in a Crockett overlook looking towards the bridges on a day when the hillside was shamrock green. Later this spring the deep greens of the Kensington school path were lite up with bright slashes of that same neon green. Water edges were the subject of more paintings in Martinez, Point Molate and Albany Bulb as seen from behind the Race Track near the freeway.
