The Bedroom

The Bedroom
Acrylic on canvas 18" x 24"

As seen in California's Bakersfield Museum

This painting is also known as Carrie’s Bedroom, or Mrs. Steedman’s Bedroom. I was captivated by the morning sunlight streaming through her east window. Originally when the Casa, including this bedroom, was designed by architect George Washington Smith and Mr. Steedman in the 1920’s, Carrie’s south window had a panoramic ocean view. Today, the vegetation has taken away that ocean view. I, however, gave her back the ocean view in this painting.
