FLOWER FIELDS  |  SOUTH MOUNTAIN

It was suggested on Instagram that I should title this "Hometown" by Santa Paula California classmate Barbara Crow (Brink). When you leave town going east on Telegraph Road you pass this iconic view of the flower fields with a dramatic backdrop of South Mountain. I painted this in October 2019 while in my hometown to be with my brother and family before and after he passed on Sept 17.

This 6 squared pastel was accepted and was included Randy Higbee Gallery 10th annual 6" squared Exhibition in Costa Mesa December 2019.

PIGMENT: We use Epson DURABrite Ultra pigment ink which has a permanence resistance rating up to 105 years as rated by Wilhelm Imagine Research a leading authority of print permanence. 

Epson’s DURABrite Ultra pigment ink uses an exclusive Microencapsulation technology where each pigment particle is encased in a resin. A unique polymer pulls the particles apart, so they are suspended in the solution and never coagulate. The ink base then helps the DURABrite Ultra pigment particles penetrate the paper. DURABrite Ultra ink uses a specific technology to control the penetration level of the ink and keep the colorant near the surface and a special formula that creates more Vibrant & bright colored prints.  Conventional dye-based ink particles are absorbed into the fibers of plain paper and are soluble in water. Pigment inks come at a higher cost than dye inks but you can feel confident in your investment that will last for generations.
