Santa Barbara, CA landscape artist Nicole Strasburg's work celebrates the vast outdoors, endless horizons and a sense of personal sanctuary. As she says of this painting, "Our family cabin is located in the midst of the Los Padres National Forest where there are miles of hiking trails. In California, where so much of the landscape is dry, open stretches of yellow waving grasses, the pine forest is a magical place to cool off and have time for green therapy. The species of pine in our area are Jeffrey Pines that when heated from the summer sun or cooling in the early evening, emanate an intoxicating smell of vanilla or butterscotch." Made in USA. Exclusive. Unframed, oil paint on birch panel, equipped with a cleat for hanging. 12" sq.
