Slide Show Memories

It is amazing what you can find to do when snowbound. We are going through still more slides from "way back when".  I love seeing places, people, and pets from earlier times. More importantly, we are reviewing artist reference pics/slides from California. The Central Coast area right now - we lived there in our early pre-married and newlywed life. My husband loved off-roading which perfectly matched my need to travel the countryside's "off the beaten track" places to find just the right spot to sketch/paint/photograph. My current pastel paintings of Montana De Oro and the San Simeon schoolhouse currently hanging in my Tidal School Winery show came from photos (and memories) such as these. Hubby is requesting another California poppy,countryside painting. This time in pastels. Back to the easel!
