Casa Dragon
on sale this week at Feria From Afar.
This week, I have a few prints on sale for the Feria from Afar event that is put on by the Casa del Herrero. Purchases not only help the Casa sustain in it’s funding but it also benefits local artists by splitting the profits 50%. Under normal circumstances, this even is held in person on the grounds of the Casa, but due to the recent shutdown, they are putting their event on-line for the first time ever.
Casa Dragon was photographed on the Casa grounds in what is known as the "Arizona Garden” a few years back. They had just asked the Santa Barbara Garden Club to come in a do a small re-design and clean up this part of the garden that had been neglected over the years. This stand of Dracaena draco trees has always been a stand-out on the property and I requested to go in and photograph it before the clean up began. It had always been a favorite spot of mine on the property as they tower over the Arizona Garden and must have been some of the original plantings of the estate. They are by far some of the larger specimens to be found in the Santa Barbara area. Many might be familiar with these stand out trees. There is a wonderful specimen in Alameda park and they can be seen around town in many private gardens and as a few street trees.
If you’d like to see the other images available for purchase, please visit the official Casa website where they have a link to the event:
All items will be on sale from June 15-19th.
