Spring is Finally Here 🌼 In “French Mustard Field” Jane Gottlieb captures a blooming mustard field in fisheye view. The dream-like nature of the image and its fleeting tones are accomplished through her process of hand-painting layers of retouching dyes onto a Cibachrome print.

Fred Tomaselli made “April 2, 2015 #2” when California’s water levels were reaching near crises proportions. His painting a rainbow beyond the bluffs of a nearly leveled Lake Oroville's cliffs, gives a sense of optimism to the drought. Find this piece and more on view at OCMA!
