Remnant


On our drive home from Gilroy, we stopped at Camp Roberts, outside of Paso Robles. My husband's Grandfather was stationed there after WWII. We've gone past many times and I've always said, "oh, we have to go in there. I love the old buildings". Well we finally did it. They have a nice little museum - always seeking memoirs and donations of old things...I secured permission to wander about and photograph. The derelict buildings go on row after row. It is very spooky. I had not realised that in 1944 Camp Roberts was the largest military training center in the world.

Half Light on San Felipe Lake

As we left the Pacheco Pass and drove down the 152 into Gilroy I looked back at the hills and saw this wonderful lake. The colors were so warm and the sky lit up the water like glass. I insisted we return one evening so I could paint. The mosquitoes were thick! The semi trucks shook the car on the side of the road and sent chills up my spine. I sat in the back seat with the door open to the lake. We artists have to take risks!

Yellow Roses

While in Gilroy I took advantage of a lovely evening to paint the yellow roses on my in-law's patio. The soil is so rich there. Everything seems to grow three times as big as in our garden.

Signing out for a few days

I'm off to Northern California tomorrow and will be doing lots of painting up there. I don't think I'll have any way to upload photos so may be silent for a week. I will be checking e-mail though just in case someone wants to buy a painting! :)

Star Theater in Oceanside

The old Star Theater is still a defining feature of down town Oceanside. I love capturing these remnants of time gone by.
