“1178. Farm Stand at Tolay Lake” Oil painting by Mariko Irie<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This location is Tolay Lake Regional Park, a unique 3434-acre property located in the hills southeast of Petaluma, between the Petaluma River and Sonoma Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I joined a paint out group, \u201cReady, Set, Sketch!\u201d in Sonoma County and went to paint with them. They are happy painters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dating to at least 4,000 years, habitation of the original Tolay Lake perimeter occurred on a seasonal basis by the Coast Miwok, Pomo and other native Californians. It is known that this has been a regional gathering place for diverse tribes, probably associated with the beliefs that healing powers were derived from this lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These archaeological findings received such widespread attention that the lake was at one time alternatively known as Charmstone Lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn\u2019t have any of this knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 3 hours, I had to find a place and paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were so many to choose from; finally I set up my easel. I just painted, painted, painted until finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After I looked at my painting, my brush strokes were flying as though dancing 😊💞<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s very beautiful place to be💖<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
