‘Simply Rural’ Paintings At HCA Gallery

I just hung new paintings at the HCA Gallery, 130 Plaza St., Healdsburg. Stop by and see these Simply Rural images: pick-up trucks, cows and chickens, old buildings and one surprise historical image. The painting called The Old Dry Yard (lower left above) is based on a photo taken at my family’s farm in the 1910s. It shows how prunes were dried before the advent of modern dehydrators. A special treat for Healdsburg old-timers who remember the days when this wine country destination was known as the Buckle of the Prune Belt. (No kidding.)
