Truckee and San Rafael, California, United States I work in oils and watercolors. The Sierra Nevada is the biggest inspiration for my paintings and sketches. As a fifth generation Californian, my family came to California with the Gold Rush of 1849. Wherever I travel I am inspired by nature. I enjoy sharing what catches my eye and how it evolved into my paintings. Reach me at my website, www.crystalharling.com. You you can see some of my artwork in High Camp Home, at 10191 Donner Pass Road, Truckee Ca. 530-582- 6866.

Summer Highlights 36×36 inches This painting evolved from a small painting I did in the fall of 2011. I have painted numerous aspens out in the Perazzo Meadows of Sierra County. I usually start with a tonal color, before sketching in my composition. The 12x12in original on location
Spots VIEW SLIDE SHOW This fawn was out most mornings with its mother chowing down on any landscaping plants in the neighborhood that met their fancy last month. I decided to paint a 8in x10in with a background that didn’t look like suburbia. It sold today at HCH and now resides in Clio, Ca.
These cows out in Perazzo Meadows are a continuous source of paintings. My latest painting is of a cow who thought it was hiding in the trees. It is 36×36 inches and in High Camp Home. Hiding VIEW SLIDE SHOW
