Items related to Visions of California: A Collection of Paintings &...
Visions of California is a beautifully paired collection of paintings and poems with an approach that is unique in the modern American art world. While each painting and every poem stands on its own merit the two amplify and compliment one another much as a melody and lyric do in music. This effect is an artistic "stereo" with two distinct sources that form a single enhanced impression.
