Inspiration is everywhere

It's not hard to get inspired from nature living in beautiful Santa Barbara! Especially this time of the year.

Santa Barbara Island

The smallest of the Channel Islands is deceptive. From a distance, this one-square-mile island may look a bit barren. Upon closer examination, the island offers more than one would expect-an island of resting elephant seals, blooming yellow flowers, tumbling Scripps's murrelet chicks, and rich cultural history. Santa Barbara Island is the center of a chain of jewels, a crossroads for people and animals.

On a clear day the view of the islands are spectacular

In my landscape portfolio I have painted 5 views at different times of the day.

Yes I am grateful to live here.
