• A couple of weeks ago I was walking along the Lunada Bay bluffs and came upon a red tailed hawk hanging out on a post just steps away from me and I thought for the 100th time, how grateful I am to be here.
  That's why I paint. To make keepsakes of this memorable place in time. (Nextdoor Los Verdes)
