"Sandyland Vista" ©
Driving home from a weekend in Santa Barbara, Frank and I stopped in Carpenteria for a quick "photo shoot". It was late afternoon (the golden hour) and we decided to go to the Sandyland Salt Marsh reserve. The sun was getting very low in the sky and a warm, orange light was cast over the landscape. We took as many pictures as we could before dark and this landscape is a result of that day. When doing this painting, I used some "artistic license". There were a couple of buildings that looked like warehouses and I left those out of the painting. I also moved a couple of trees and bushes to make a more pleasant composition. I am generally pleased with the painting, but most of all I had fun painting it.
