"California Farm Country" 8x8 oil on panel Sold |
What an amazing adventure! We drove 3700 miles round trip to Tucson AZ for the Plein Air Convention and Expo 2016. In the next several posts I will try and document our road trip down and back again.

packed van |
I added four Louis Lamour books to our packed van then Ann and I hopped in and headed for the ferry that would take us across to Edmonds and on to our first airbnb in Springfield Oregon. BTW a plug for airbnb, Great service ! I love meeting new people and hotels are so depressing.

Ann enjoying dinner out in Sacramento |
After Oregon we headed south through California and made it to Sacramento where we stayed with hosts Melanie and Rick in their cozy basement apartment. We found a Thai place in town and enjoyed some vacation time.

Beautiful California Country |
The country between Sacramento and Santa Barbara is stunning! I got the chance to do my first painting at a rest stop somewhere along the way. After a nice rest for Ann and a bit of work for me we headed for Santa Barbara where we ran into the first trouble of the trip.....
