BIG SKY COUNTRY: The Hollywood Riviera.

My friend Mary Trainor sent me these images of two paintings she bought for her Riviera home over 20 years ago. I didn't see a connection between them at the time but now I notice they both have a very low horizon. Both Todd's Shipyard and Mono Lake were endangered back then. The shipyard is gone now but the lake is thriving.

It's nice to see these again. Thanks, Mary!
