My first stop in California was the sweet little town of Pleasanton, where my very good friend Randi lives (pictured to the right, top-left, along with a very goofy-haired me). I spent the first day exploring the area while she worked. I found the lovely Sunol wilderness area, where I ended up doing my first 2 paintings the second day. It doesn't look hilly in the painting, but I had to hike up quite a bit to get this view. I had the inspiration to cut some wide panels right before I left, and even made a special box to hold them (which I will post about if any are interested). I will post the second painting tomorrow.
The next day we drove down to Big Sur (top-right). Unfortunately it was completely socked in with fog for most of the day, so we mostly just took pictures and drove/walked around. Wow - what a place!
