Orchard with Slanting Shadows: Living above the apricot and prune orchards on the hills overlooking the Almaden Valley in California that last year in San Jose, and every morning and evening seeing the long shadows cast by those little trees, stretching over the ground in between, made an impression on me that lasted for years. Even after we moved to Seattle, I continued to draw, paint and print the image, and I still look at simple snapshots. What is it about this?
