Along California's historic Highway 49, tucked neatly into a beautifully forested valley in the Sierra foothills, Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park spans the South Fork of the American River. Here, on January 24, 1848, James Marshall found gold flakes in the stream bed and sparked one of the history's largest human migrations. In 1857 he bought fifteen acres of land in Coloma for $15 and built a cabin.
After enjoying a day at the Gold Discovery park, I came across this cabin and was intrigued by its history, which inspired me to paint this scene.
Materials:
Oil on oil-primed Claessens Belgian linen, mounted on the archival museum quality Gatorfoam panel. Painting surface is protected with a coat of Gamvar varnish.
The painting is unframed and will require a frame to hang on the wall.
Kindly note that not all in-context (in a room) pictures provide a true sense of scale of artwork. Please refer to listing size.
