#DYK that the blue gum, a mid-sized eucalyptus reaching around 150 to over 200 feet tall, is the most common eucalyptus in California?⁠ .⁠ Eucalyptus is not native to California. Ellwood Cooper, a horticulturist who migrated to Goleta in the mid 19th century from Pennsylvania, is often credited with the commercial proliferation of the tree in central and southern California, growing them for what he hoped would be excellent lumber. Alas, he and other growers would come to realize that the trees needed to be old (75-100) to produce good lumber and the young wood decayed to quickly for even small projects like fences and railroad ties. But the eucalyptus remained and spread. Today they seem to be everywhere. ⁠ .⁠ Here is the evidence of another California migrant becoming enthralled with them. This landscape was painted by Chicago-born, Los Angeles transplant Charles L.A. Smith in the early decades of the 20th century.⁠ .⁠ Charles L.A. Smith, "Landscape (Eucalyptus)," ca. 1920s, Oil on canvas, Fisher Museum Collection. ⁠ .⁠ #USCFisherMuseum #MuseumMomentOfZen #landscape #eucalyptus #CharlesLASmith #painter #MuseumFromHome

#FBF to the opening of Dan McCleary's exhibition "Every Day Sacred" in 2015. ⁠ .⁠ This exhibition featured interior scenes with very few subjects seemingly engaged in a state of contemplative introspection. The paintings highlighted the easily missed details of routine moments.⁠ .⁠ 📣 We are getting ready to announce our spring 2021 (virtual) exhibitions and *spoiler* one of the shows will be work by @dfmccleary! 🎉⁠ .⁠ Sign up for our Fisher From Home newsletter 💌 to learn more about the upcoming virtual exhibitions and programs. Sign up at fisher.usc.edu! ⁠ .⁠ The artwork seen here is "Seven-Eleven," 1996, oil on canvas, 36 x 52 inches. ⁠ #USCFisherMuseum #DanMcCleary #EveryDaySacred #FlashbackFriday #painting #LAArtist #ArtLovers #7Eleven
