NOTICE DATE CHANGE TO 3rd SATURDAY FOR SEPTEMBER. Paint Out - Saturday, September 21st, 9:00 am -12:00 pm Gaviota Coast at Naples |
The next Scape paint out will be at Naples which is part of the Gaviota coast. As you know this land is one of the largest stretches of coastal rural land in Southern California. There have been several interested parties wanting to develop this pristine land. Unfortunately it is being threatened once again.
There are views of beautiful fields leading into the foothills and mountains from the field to the left where we park. Unlimited sites and vistas may be gained by walking from the parking area along grazing pastures to the bluffs above the ocean.
This is the central California coast at its finest.
For those interested in walking out and painting near the ocean, you can go around on the left side of the gate where we park and follow the road to the ocean. There may be two gates in between that are usually easy enough to go through or around.
Directions: take 101 N. from Goleta to the Dos Pueblo exit. Take the exit continue straight on until a 90° curve to the left under 101. Then turn left and go nearly to the entrance to 101 south. Park just before entering the freeway south.
Unfortunately, there are no toilets.
(Back at the stop sign you may want to park briefly to look at the sites, including the old metal bridge from the 1920s over a creek that serves as a private entrance to Dos Pueblos ranch.)
We hope to see you there. Happy Painting.
Your paint out crew.
THE JOY OF SCAPE PAINT OUTS By Jerry Martin One of the great perks of being in SCAPE is having monthly collegial paint outs with like-minded nice people. If you haven't been to one, you will be hooked once you do! It is always fun to paint in new and interesting locations of urban-scapes, landscapes and seascapes. We meet at a location of scenic beauty often chosen in conjunction with an upcoming show. Whether you are experienced with plein air painting, interested in taking photographs or perhaps drawing for use in the studio later, or just want to share being in natural settings with others, it is worth checking out. We have enjoyed gathering at Naples with ocean bluffs, agricultural land and mountains; a private organic farm in the Santa Ynez Valley near Buellton; Lake Carneros; an historic adobe and farm on the Gaviota coast, Arroyo Hondo Preserve; and a hilltop avocado ranch in the foothills. We like to explore new venues, classic locations, and beautiful sights. There are certain paint outs that require a reservation as they are being held on private land or lands managed by one of our beneficiaries such as EDC: Coal Oil Point, Sedgwick, Salt Marsh. As a SCAPE member if you have access or live in a spot that offers an enticing view and would accommodate around a dozen painters to set up, please contact Colin Schildhauer, Filiberto Lomeli or Jerry Martin. We would all much appreciate new ideas and new locations. REMINDERS WHEN ATTENDING PAINT OUTS Release of Liability: Please remember to always sign the Release of Liability at a Paint Out. Look for Colin, Jerry or Fil or whoever else may be in charge of the Paint Out. What to Bring Bring sunscreen, a hat, maybe an umbrella, and a water bottle so that you can stay comfortable and hydrated throughout the day. | PAINTOUT COMMITTEE Colin Schildhauer, Chair  Jerry Martin
