San Andreas I – Original Acrylic Painting

San Andreas I is an original acrylic painting by Ellen Jean Diederich.

Behind the piece: I never thought I would want to see the San Adreas fault until family friends recommended it and read the 5-star reviews. It became a haunting curiosity, but Paul and I finally bit the apple and invited friends to join us. First, we learned about the Indians seeing how they captured drinking water and ground the pods on a strange plant with a rock that was their primary food source. Our entertaining driver drove us around and led us between these rocks in San Andreas I to see their mysterious beauty. The dramatically angled stone is a key descriptive factor.

The colors in his painting were fascinating, and I enjoyed painting the lighting on the rocks. This original acrylic painting is framed in a lovely simple walnut frame.
