"Pico Canyon" ©

Last evening four Santa Clarita painters met at Pico Canyon park to paint together, enjoy each others company and share the evening. Two had just purchased new plein air easels and that is really fun for everyone, figuring out how all the parts work together. Personally I don't think you can have to many easels, being the owner of 2 Guerrillia Boxes (6X8 & 9X12), 1 EasyL (11X14)and 1 French Easel. Tools have always intrigued me no matter what the medium. Pico Canyon is very typical of the whole valley, hosting Oak trees, scrub brush and distant mountains. We were talking last evening about how lucky we all are to live in such a beautiful valley.
