Wow!!! What a morning. The views up at Ventura Botanical Garden are amazing...but it was HOT! I'm talking 99 degrees at 10:30 am and dry winds. But, plein air artists are truly NOT whimps...and everyone had a good time despite the weather. Special thanks to Tracy Long from
Ventura Botanical Gardens for "opening the gate" for us. We had a rare treat and view!

You can't see it from this photo...but Anacapa Island and Santa Cruz were so visible today. Thanks to Island Packers, an artist is going to win a prize that includes a trip out to the islands!

Spark Taylor is smart...notice how she picked shade. |
|
Mary-Gail King picked a ROASTING spot! Talk about dedication. The islands are in the distance. |
|
Gerald Zwers is a very smart guy...he picked one of the shady spots in the area. |
|
Gina Niebergall...truly, she usually smiles! (:)) |
|
Ron Zolkover has a very nice start. |
|
That's me, Christine Beirne, blocking it in. (Notice my sleeve pulled up, didn't want to get a farmer's tan!) |
A partial group photo.
I see a few previously mentioned and I think that's
George Scribner on the right.
So what are we doing all this for?
