Painted during the 2025 Paint Sausalito event in Sausalito, CA.  Those red gum trees, when they flower, are really dramatic and catching. So it was a scene that had caught my eye as I was scoping out the area before. I definitely wanted to come back and try and do something there. It’s a really small but nice little park that has a lot of benches so it was a popular destination for us painters to set up and paint. There were 3 or 4 of us painting there at some point. it's also great because it was a pretty hot day, so getting out of the sun and into these shady areas that still have a good view is pretty valuable. I knew I was going to do a larger piece there, and it was going to take me a while. So if I could find a place where the lighting was consistent, that was perfect for me.
