Santa Ynez River Flow

 6×8″ oil on panel– It is a sweet sight to see the Santa Ynez River flowing through its the sinuous canyons.  When the water pours out of our tap in Goleta and Santa Barbara it’s fun to think how it traveled down this serpentine path to Lake Cachuma and to see if you can detect the taste of sage, yerba santa, coast live oak and ancient sandstone in your glass.  I caught this view yesterday off Paradise Road with my ultra-light painting kit and think I will make a big studio painting based on this composition.
