Travel Cambria California - Painting by Clarence Weiss

Things that Surround Me #3

We have an acrylic painting of a peacock on a barn-house by Clarence Weiss who does Plein Air Painting.

We had been admiring his work of local Cambria scenes at the Moonstone Grill. Finally we contacted him to look at his other paintings. We acquired this peacock, which is a depiction of a real peacock and barn in the area.

Whenever I see this painting all of Cambria and the surrounding area of the Central Coast of California come to life.

Here are some pictures of Cambria, which is in the Central Coast of California near Hearst Castle. Check out the links to Cambria as well.

Happy Easter!
