The door out to the open sea is symbolic of hope and possibilities to me. Inspired by our beautiful oceans, here is my imaginary place.

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.

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.

Walking down Butterfly Beach Lane, Montecito, here is the view looking towards Santa Barbara.

Walking along this path I was stopped me in my tracks to paint the view.
