Living and working in California for about a 10 year period, I came to appreciate the &#8216;plein air&#8217; painters who captured the light and scenes of California &#8212; from the Central Coast near Monterey and Carmel, to Laguna Beach in the south. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>Older artwork. <\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I especially enjoy the Early California Impressionists &#8212; such as Guy Rose, Elmer Wachtel,\u00a0Edgar Payne, Paul Grimm and William Wendt. They portray scenes of California when it was still undeveloped, and do a beautiful job of putting paint to canvas to show the ocean waves,\u00a0the high Sierra,\u00a0the rolling hills or old, authentic California missions\u00a0untouched by houses and freeways.<a href=\"https:\/\/margomyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/wendt.bmp\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-397\" title=\"wendt\" src=\"https:\/\/margomyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/wendt.bmp\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>Irvine Museum. <\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">My husband and I recently visited the Irvine Museum, located only a couple of block from John Wayne Airport in Orange County. It&#8217;s small, and is located on the ground floor of an office tower in Irvine. Joan Irvine Smith started collecting California Impressionist art almost 20 years ago, and the markets since then have skyrocketed. The museum just debuted a new exhibit called &#8220;Saving Paradise.&#8221; It features dramatic landscapes that make California so special. In fact, we stopped at the Redfern Gallery in Laguna Beach just to take a look around, and learned that Irvine Smith bought some of her first artwork from this gallery. We also stopped in to admire paintings at the Wendt and Bluebird Galleries. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>Not quite Manet or Monet. <\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I just saw where a self-portrait of Eduoard Manet sold for more than $33 million. These paintings aren&#8217;t quite in that\u00a0price range, but still cost thousands of dollars. For now, I&#8217;ll have to settle for visiting the galleries and the Irvine Museum.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/margomyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/simanton.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-398\" title=\"simanton\" src=\"https:\/\/margomyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/simanton-300x156.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/margomyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/simanton-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/margomyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/simanton.jpg 303w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Impressions of California.
