Not So Distant Shores

Plein air artwork from Scorpion Ranch on Santa Cruz Island in the Channel Islands National Park off the coast of California

Plein air from one of California’s other coasts

Not too often do I paint from places I can’t drive my van to, but it sure is fun to see these coasts with no roads and crystal clear waters. I’m stoked to be heading south for another round with one of our offshore islands next week.
