Photographed along the Marin-Sonoma County line near Valley Ford, “Early Summer” captures a quiet moment of rural California at the edge of the seasons.
This fine art print comes from a period when I was shaping my landscapes to feel more like graphic design — using color, form, and simplicity to create bold, timeless compositions.
The weathered barns, the soft curve of the golden hills, and the patch of green grass near the old well — still fed by a slow leak — tell a story of endurance, resourcefulness, and quiet beauty.
“Early Summer” is a portrait of a land where time moves slowly, and small details still shape the way the earth lives and breathes. A piece of California’s working countryside, preserved in light and memory.
