Mi Perro y La Playa - Sold

Oil
6x6
Painted on location at O'Hendry's Beach

This was one of my paintings displayed at the Art Along the Creek event in Santa Barbara this past weekend.   An event organized by SCAPE (Southern California Artists Painting for the Environment) to benefit the Phoenix of Santa Barbara - a non-profit mental health agency - and it's creek habitat restoration program.    I can't help but think that giving the painting back the title my husband originally gave it had something to do with it selling:-)  It was a really nice event and a chance to get to know more of the artists that belong to SCAPE and supporting a great cause.

  1. We were visiting Santa Barbara from Vancouver, BC, and were going for a shady walk in the park on our last morning. Loved your painting immediately, but didn't realize it was O'Hendry's Beach until after we bought it - we had just walked there a few days earlier! It is the perfect memento of our visit, thank you.

  2. Hi Midge, I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying the painting! And thank you for supporting such a great cause as well. Glad to hear you enjoyed your time in S.B. It's hard not to:-) O'Hendry's is such a nice beach. The day I was there painting it, the morning haze made it an even more enjoyable time, watching all the people walking their dogs on a beautiful SoCal morning.
