wild life

Thank you to Santa Barbara Art Association for my award. Goes to show that when you do what you love all else follows.. I painted the landscape on Santa Cruz Island and a little fox watched me and followed every brush stroke.. Just now while entering this, a bob cat cruised by window and sauntered around while I fumbled for my camera. good day!

WOW ,

First Friday, Artist open tour Saturday. S.B Beach Art show Sun.. ok I'm a little tired now!
But very happy, thanks to all my great friends and patrons for making this weekend such a success!
