California Road Trip

My wife and I are on a road trip up Highway One in California.  I've brought my watercolors along and have made a few sketches on the way.  There's so much beauty here it's hard to take it all in!

My watercolor travel kit.



One of our first stops was Santa Barbara and I was fascinated by much of the architecture in this beautiful town.

I sketched on Moonstone Beach in Cambria.  If you look closely you can see several harbor seals resting on the rocks to my left.


Here's a close up of the seals.  The one on the right kept a watchful eye on me the whole time!

    My mother enjoyed the best san francisco tours with my aunt and explored the beautiful attractions. My mother came back on this tour with lovely experience and greatest memories.
