Richard Stein’s award-winning paintings are an interpretation of Northern California landscapes and agriculture as observed from an aerial perspective. His technique showcases textures and patterns not readily apparent at ground level, using thickened paint and tools to achieve the final image. Shown: “Ogden Bend on the Sacramento River,” acrylic on canvas, 30 inches by 40 inches. This piece is available for $1,400. Archival Gallery will showcase work by Richard Stein and Mel Smothers in October. Visit archivalgallery.com.
