Santa Cruz Island...

After spending oodles of days in the studio working with great models , it was time for an outdoor adventure. Landscape painting uses a different set of observational skills and requires time away from home and studio. After months of zooming in on my subjects, I am looking out toward majestic and massive terrain.

This trip was exceptional. The fog that was haunting our summer finally lifted. I was without cell phone and email for 4 days (ahhhh!) and explored to my hearts content. I filled my sketchbook and now want to get started on some new work!
