I-5 Sunset by Rita Pacheco  6×6″ Oil on Panel

Rita Pacheco. Nice paintings! Very painterly! I love her brush strokes, colors, and the wonderful vibe that comes from them. Who would think sitting in traffic could be so pretty? The power lines add a nice touch… and other than the wonderful colors in the sky, I love, love, love the brake lights!
