    CALIFORNIA ART CLUB NEWSLETTER Documenting California’s Traditional Arts Heritage Since 1909 How the San Gabriel Valley Inspired California Impressionism and Lured Artists from across the Nation Part i of iii by Elaine Adams he development of an outstanding artist requires a process Tthat can be compared to that of nurturing a delicate seedling to full maturity and potential. Cultivation, environment, and faithful caring all have an influence on the final result. Throughout history burgeoning artists have instinctively, and certainly out of financial consideration, opted to live in close communities with fellow artists. In such settings, artists create their own subcultures as they spend their days among like-minded friends who speak their language—a form of communication that is based on their specific brand of artistic discipline and philosophy. Fellowship among artists becomes an essential source of sustaining encouragement in this lifestyle which can be sporadic in work and income. At times, an artist may travail obliviously over many days and weeks with only John Bond Francisco (1863–1931) occasional breaks for quick meals and Out of the Dust, c. 1918 minimal sleep.

After my first ten years in a gallery in Encino, I moved to Laguna Beach and have been here in the same charming building for the past twenty-one years. After all, Laguna was the favored painting destination and home to many of the early historical artists in which I specialize, so it is quite appropriate that The Redfern Gallery is here as well. It is the same glorious environment that is depicted in many of the paintings I display. I am fortunate to live in Laguna Beach and it still gives me great joy and a sense of accomplishment to come to work and encounter more great paintings from this phenomenal art period. Four years ago, I opened a second gallery location in the beautiful Montage Resort and Spa.
