Not Far from My Studio

My studio in Claremont, California is but 3 blocks from historic Route 66 known locally as Foothill Blvd. Just east by a couple miles is this enormous beautiful sculpture of Madonna of the Trail which presides over a major intersection in Upland, California. This Madonna honors the strength and beauty of all mothers. Only a few miles westward is the city of Laverne, one of many cities once blanketed with orange groves. As populations grew,so many of these fragrant and beautiful groves gave way to new homes and businesses Nice memories here of a more simple time.
