Not So Speechless Sunday: A California Impressionistic Scene!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

I took this photo this morning after our breakfast/brunch at Cold Springs Tavern.  It reminded us of the California Impressionism school of artists.  The lighting was amazing, and the Cold Spring Bridge added a beautiful accent of bright green.   

 

The terms California Impressionism and California Plein-Air Painting describe the large movement of 20th century California artists who worked out of doors, directly from nature in California, United States. Their work became popular in the San Francisco Bay Area and Southern California in the first three decades after the turn of the 20th century.Wikipedia

 

Wishing you all a delightful Sunday and a great week ahead!

Michael Jacobs A lot of their artwork was of the Pasadena and surrounding area before it was built up.  I spotted one in Santa Fe when we were there a few moons ago, and that was the first time I had heard of this...A

Wayne Martin Thank you for your comment

Sheila Anderson the CA impressionists work have become quite valuable these days.  The one I had seen years ago in Santa Fe was so reasonable priced...

Beth Atalay we were both in awe of the result of the camera on my phone.  It captured it perfectly.  A

Kat Palmiotti the forest is beyond the trees, the road is the old Stagecoach Rd, before the bridge was built in the 1950's.  We love this area...A

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD you know where this was taken.  I am so happy that the road was re-paved, as it was rather gnarly...now more people who are scared of bridges can cross that way.  LOL A

Grant Schneider so much of the scene was luminous.  It is what happens after the rain and the sunshine takes over.  A

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty I think that stupidity is rampant in every state.  We get more notice because of the entertainment industry which revels in the bizarre.  We just focus on what is right and ignore the rest, and little by little things change for the better.  I think we as humans are impatient to see change happen.  A

Will Hamm so far so good...I am enjoying our Sunday as is Ron.  It was a beautiful morning, and just now the clouds are coming in to make their presence felt.  Perhaps they will give us more rain...A

Sheri Sperry - MCNE® one of our North Carolina clients lives in a town where they have such a festival.  And the artists paint on the sides of buildings.  It was so much fun exploring the town, and seeing some incredible work.  A

Ron and Alexandra Seigel - Yes, I know there is a covered bridge at Bridgeport in Nevada County.  When I was a kid we would sometimes spend time at French Corral.  We would drive over that bridge to get there.
