I received an email asking for submissions for a Steinbeck Country exhibition.  Each piece of art needed to be accompanied by a Steinbeck quote.  I took "The Monterey Wharf" from my mission collection and painted the other two for submission.  Doing this project I realized how very happy I am when I am painting.
