What art offers is space ~
A certain breathing room for the spirit.

Santa Monica Mountains by Lynn Simon
Last fall Pastel Society of the Gold Coast had a wonderful day of plein air at The King Gillette Ranch, in the Santa Monica Mountains. What a beautiful place to create art and spend the day!
Above, a view from a little hike, down to the Ranch below.
The artists scouted the beautiful ranch, taking photos and getting inspiration for an afternoon of creating art! The morning was beautiful but windy, but it all worked out, as the afternoon was lovely and perfect for plein air.
After some visiting and an early lunch, they settled into their locations ...
Below, Lori found a beautiful spot!

Donna Vis' lovely view of the bridge ...
And a wonderful, colorful path by Nelda Gruenthal ...
A watercolor underpainting of the old 1920s stables (now visitors center) by Lucinda Keller ...
And then, pastels over the top!
Below, Donna Vis, Patrish Kuebler, Emily Goldfield, Lynn Simon, Lori Corradi, and Nelda Gruenthal. What fun!

If one really loves nature,
on can find beauty everywhere.

When I arrived to Gold Coast, the ahn’s representative has waited outside to pick me up and took me to my home stay family. It was very nice to have somebody waited for you and told you a little bit about the city where you will stay for 10 months.
