Description
I created this imagined colorful view looking across the American River just east of the Fair Oaks Bridge. The entrance to the park was posted as the Sunrise Recreation Area – American River Parkway which is what I used for the title. The park is administered by the County of Sacramento. The nearby historic Fair Oaks Bridge was built from 1908-1909 and is currently only for pedestrian and bike traffic. The bridge is also good for getting this view of the bluff on the north bank. After doing the research months later, I realized I should have titled this painting Fair Oaks Bluff.
From the Fair Oaks Historical Society site: The Fair Oaks Bluff at the American River has been called “The Crown Jewel of the American River Parkway” and offers perhaps the most spectacular vista in all of Sacramento County. Since the 1800s, this historic and scenic spot has been enjoyed by residents and visitors of the Sacramento Valley. Its vegetation includes California prairie and a dense blue and interior live oak forest where wildlife and wildflowers abound. The area is currently inhabited by deer, wild turkeys, raccoons, hawks, and opossums
This 15” X 22” watercolor painting was done on Arches, 140 lb, rough paper.
