At Goleta beach, I enjoyed capturing the reflection in the sky, the slough and the land before me in all their rich colors.

The perfect Spanish Hacienda! Adoring Mediterranean architecture, I couldn’t resist painting my dream garden entrance that is in Montecito, California.
Santa Barbara Riviera
This is the view you have when looking at the mountains in Santa Barbara, all speckled with red tile roofs and palm trees. The Mediterranean climate, warm ocean breezes – it’s just paradise.

Blue Agave
The Blue Agave always attracts my attention. Along the bike path at Butterfly Beach in Montecito, California on a warm summer day, here was one complimented by sunlit glimmers through the crepe like petals of the pink bougainvillea. It all came together exquisitely.
Palms at Dusk
Set against the Carpinteria Mountains, I captured all the colors and nuances in the palm trees from the early evening light.
