Sand Dune Garden
20×20″ oil on canvas– The light was lovely in this small small cove just north of Campus Point.

12×24″ oil on canvas– The landscape looks shiny and new for the new year after the morning showers yesterday. Happy New Year!

15×30″ Acrylic– Any UCSB students will know this spot… how lucky we were to get to walk out on this trail between classes.
