I am not known to most collectors for my California paintings, but the truth is that I have painted many and often over the years. I love the state with its amazing variety of landscape. Plein air painting in the Santa Barbara area is among my favorites. The historic Cabrillo Bathhouse is a 1920s landmark located oceanfront on Santa Barbara’s East Beach.  It has been a subject of many early California and Santa Barbara artist since it was built. I had been painting looking north in the morning, when the light shifted I simply turned my easel around to the paint the architecture, beach goers and color of the afternoon. I love this painting.
