Latigo Canyon

My husband and I just got back from a wonderful vacation thanks to the generosity of our friends and family.  Arlene and Dennis gave us there wonderful home in Santa Monica on Ocean Ave. for 2 weeks... every day was wonderful.  And our Michelle and Joe (cuz) gave us 2 weeks at there great home in Malibu on Latigo Canyon-- I actualy learned to handle the drive up that mountain.

This trip ended with a mini family reunion of  with  cousins from back home in Chicago (they now live in LA and New Jersey).  They  rented a wonderful home in Santa Barbara where we played with our little cousins Max, Julia, Ryan and Lily and their parents -- and of course my kids.. it was wonderful.

Thank you everyone... it was wonderful... love to all of you.

The painting above is a watercolor I did from my cousins backyard in Malibu one morning. Nice view....every moment of everyday the views were wonderful.

Day's End -- Life Guard Stand in Malibu

This original painting was done while sitting at the beach in Malibu. It was at the end of the day... a beautiful day .. and the night sky was just starting to roll in. The painting is done on watercolor board. I first painted the stand in watercolor and then did a pastel overpainting. The finished size is 6" x 10"
