'El Jardin Courtyard' - SOLD




El Jardin courtyard is right on Main Street in downtown Ventura where there are cute shops, hair stylists, quaint little bistros, and truly yummy sweets.  This hidden treasure is behind a gated passageway with steps leading up all the way through to umbrellas, delightful blue skies and strong shadows that seem to enlist the help of wee little birds to sing you into a blissful relaxed state.  Local charms are abundant!

'Umbrella Daze' - SOLD



Photo reference compliments of Claudia Ward Photography.

A rainy day at the bus stop.  Umbrellas up and everyone in quite a daze.  I painted this during our deluge of rains here in Cali.  Very grateful and appreciating the precious element H2O.

However, with that said, I am getting anxious to move into our brand new home with an upstairs studio promising lots of light and no longer sharing small quarters with my guitar slinging husband.  We'll both finally have our 'own' studios like before - soon?.  Yay!

Builders said delays came from the rain as in pouring driveway, Edison, etc.  But I know we desperately needed it.
