winter on the santa barbara coast

We've been finding some new (to us) places to paint for our Monday plein-air sessions. Stopping at some turn-outs on Faren Road, you get a gorgeous view of the coast below, the mountains and fields all around. In late November and December 2018 - between the holidays - we worked mornings most days, then tried an afternoon with low, strong sun on the water.
We could see the change week by week after the first small storm that greened everything up. It was amazing what a little rain could do.
