City of Death Santa Barbara

It is with heavy heart that the many friends of John Rindlaub say goodbye as John transitions from this life to another. After years of living with Parkinson’s disease, John passed peacefully on 6/21/2024 at the Santa Barbara Serenity House.

A graduate of Dunn School in Los Olivos John was a longtime fixture on the Santa Barbara arts and music scene. John played in numerous local bands beginning in the 1960’s including Hubcap and the Lug Nuts, Truck Stop, Buster, Gold Rush, The Dusty Buds, The Bottom Line, and more. John also had a successful career in art, where he excelled in watercolors that highlighted beautiful Santa Barbara. John was one of the original group of artists to show his work on Sundays Arts and Crafts exhibits on Cabrillo Boulevard, where John could usually be found either talking with friends or educating tourists on the finer points of water coloring. John also displayed and sold his art each year at the YES store where he also volunteered his time to help customers and other artists. John always had time for friends and was well known for his kind and gentle nature.

Special thanks go to John’s very good friends who helped to ease John’s passing by making sure he always had music and company with him.

We apologize for being so late publishing this obituary. We do plan on having a celebration of John’s life at some future date, hopefully in the spring. In lieu of flowers please send a donation to SCAPE of Santa Barbara (right), The Parkinson’s Association of Santa Barbara, or a Charity that you think John would have been interested in.

SCAPE Artists at Work and Their Work on Display


History of SCAPE  from Marcia Burtt  

SCAPE had its beginnings in 2002 when Susan Belloni, Camille Dellar, and I, Marcia Burtt, met together, impelled by Larry Iwerks who had often pointed out, from the perspective of an Oak Group member, that raising money for  environmental causes should be open to all the community artists. Patricia Doyle thought up the wonderful name, Southern California Artists Painting for the Environment—SCAPE.  Don Crocker obtained our 501 C-6 designation and has remained a board member.

We decided to have a "working board" so that each board member was in charge of a committee charged with getting work done—exhibitions, workshops and special events. Starting with ideas from the first officers, mission and activities of SCAPE have gradually  taken shape: we are now a substantial group of outdoor painters participating  in  juried exhibitions to raise money for the  environment while providing a chance  to make friends with other like minded artists  through painting together,  installing shows together, donating part of their sales and learning together.
