Eaton Canyon Pine by Holly Overin

"Eaton Canyon is a foothill park in Altadena not far from [my] home. A wonderful place to hike up to creeks and falls. There are some magnificent trees along the way. Many of them must be hundreds of years old." -- Holly Overin
Holly Overin is a Whittier, CA native and local business owner. She has been re-creating animal life and nature in various art mediums for as long as she can remember. Artistic self-expression was greatly encouraged by her ‘ plein air’ painter/mother, Janet Church. Holly learned to respect the fundamentals of drawing, painting and sculpture as laid down by master artists of the Renaissance, 19th and 20th century. Observing classical works on museum outings, watching her mother paint, and joining her in nature, activated an enthusiasm in utilizing oils and watercolors to record the rapidly disappearing southern California landscape where she grew up.
Holly teaches adults and children the tools of art. Her method, handed down to her by her mother, artist Janet Church, helps students understand how to convey form, impressionist color harmonies, composition and perspective in oils.
