“…I think his spring orchard canvasses are going to travel well through time, both forward and backward too. The transcendentalist in Thoreau would recognize the almost astral field their energies set up – as if the stars came out in daylight.”
BARMECIDE FEAST, essay by John Fitz Gibbon, 1996
Valdez Valley
“…Stuppin’s paintings produce a serotonin rush of pleasure. In part this comes from the kind of naivete or innocence they embody, and in part comes from their visual richness. But there is more at work on these surfaces. Stuppin employs a series of compositional strategies-rhythmic patterns and careful juxtapositions of color-calculated to capture and reveal the essential unifying principals of the natural world. The paintings provide us with a sense of sacredness inherent in each moment and each place, to which we are invited, along with the artist, to feel, to contemplate, and to revere.” Miriam Roberts, Santa Fe
Weston Ranch and St. Helena
WESTON RANCH Healdsburg, California
The Weston Ranch is a spectacular 1,160 acre ranch across the Russian River from Fitch Mountain and the City of Healdsburg. From its ridgeline locations it commands 360 views including Fitch Mountain to the west, Alexander Valley to the north, the entire Santa Rosa Plain to the southwest and eastward to Mount St. Helena. The Weston family entered a perpetual conservation easement agreement with The Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District in 1996 to protect the property’s outstanding natural landscapes and its continuing agricultural uses.
The Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District was formed in 1990 by a vote of the people of Sonoma County to help halt the growing loss of farmland and natural scenic landscapes in the County. By the end of 1998 the District had protected over 11 properties totaling 28,000 acres. For more information contact the District at (707) 524-7360
