In the California Central Coast some communities are built around beaches, and other communities are centered in agricultural regions. 5 minutes from Pismo Beach, and surrounded by farmland, the city of Arroyo Grande encompasses both of these features, as well as a gateway to the popular recreation area, Lopez Lake. Recent rains have turned our dry hillsides to green, and soon fields of poppies, lupin and mustard flower will make us forget about those long summers. In Branch Mill Road, Morning artist Dotty Hawthorne gives us a peek of that special dewy, flowery kind of day on a rural road near Arroyo Grande. Dotty has captured so many Central Coast images in her work and Gallery at the Network in San Luis Obispo is a great place to enjoy them. Also, don’t miss the Brush Strokes 2015, Best of the West exhibit at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art beginning March 20, 2015 because Dotty and other west coast artists will show us the best of our west!
