"Summit Park" ©

When Valencia was developed thought was given to preserving a lovely strip of land in the heart of the "Summit" housing tract. The wild grasses under the oak trees are whacked off as a tool preventing fire, which to painter looks strange. We look forward to painting all the little shoots that usually surround a tree trunk. I am sure that brush clearance is a good thing as a couple of teenagers asked me for a light, while I was painting away. Imagine that, and even though I said "no", they liked the painting of "Summit Park".
