Description: Spring by the Santa Ynez was inspired by the peaceful beauty of the Santa Ynez River in springtime. I was drawn to the way the water winds through the scene, reflecting the blue of the sky, while fresh greenery fills the riverbanks. In the foreground, bright yellow seep monkeyflowers, "native wildflowers that flourish by the river," add a little pop of color.
