This is where I go often for my getaway walks, on my way to the Oxnard Shores and back. This long stretch is between the ocean and the Santa Clara River you see on the right.

I love Surfer's Knoll beach in Ventura. It was a warm day and in the late afternoon. In the distance you can see Santa Cruz Island.

With gale force winds, there was no painting that day! Credit to my partner’s photo of where we stood, I was still able to capture the moment of this spectacular day.

Walking along my favorite beach in Ventura called Surfer's Knoll, there’s so much driftwood today. This one in particular I found very interesting.

This is one of the trails I take at Arroyo Verde in Ventura, California. It was a bright spring day with all the wildflowers in bloom. You can see Anacapa Island in the distance.

It was a windy and sunny day with billowing clouds. Great day for a sail and also to set up my easel regardless of the wind.

Carpinteria Bluffs is one of my favorite places for a paint out.  Here's one on a bright sunny day.

Standing at Goleta beach behind my easel I enjoyed capturing the reflections from the sky into the water. This is the view looking east towards Santa Barbara, California.
