"Old Stage Stop" ©

Pockets full of gold, men stopped here on a break from the dusty trail to Bakersfield. Rankin Ranch has several generations historically documented with great stories of snake races and kids smoking behind the water tank. Today I unpacked my car and repacked it for an art show this weekend at Moorpark Park, in Studio City. If your in town it should be a gem of a small show, under shady trees. It's on the corner of Laurel Canyon and Moorpark St. My spot number is B14.

"Barn At Sea Ranch" ©

This barn is barely standing, above the Pacific Ocean near Mendocino. "Sea Ranch" could be described as a hide away. It's a very quite inn, offering exquisite food and miles of paths that cross the bluffs above the sea. A dream would be to have a week to paint the ranch day and night, soaking up the quiet.
