“Talisman” is an homage to the outdoor spaces that are dear to our hearts. We each have them and they are unique to us, serving as places of respite, holders of memories, keepers of secrets - the places that are our talismans. I have many but the one painted here is along the Feather River in northern California near where I grew up.
