There were so many wondrous places to see as we cruised along the coast of Santa Cruz Island. Santa Cruz is the largest of all of the Channel Islands. It is 61,972 acres. Arch Rock was one of my favorites but I also enjoyed Quail Rock and Fry’s Harbor. We ended up in Pelican Bay. Diane and I went kayaking around. We saw sea lions surface near us and I was hoping they didn’t want to play. Several people snorkeled and said they had seen some dead sea lions on the surface.

Needed Help From a Friend
What a gorgeous place we ended up in. When we returned from our kayak adventure, we tried to set up to paint, but I was just frying … It was hot! I tried to get some advice about rock painting, but was frustrated. David talked about placing colors next to one another. Stephen looked at my rock paintings and discussed the importance of considering color temperature in addition to value when painting. I’ve heard the discussions of warm light and cool shadows versus cool light and warm shadows, and I didn’t internalize them then nor could I get it today. In the meantime my across the hall bunk mate, Bernard Fallon, came over and demonstrated how he lays in the basic shapes and values in a painting. I really appreciated his hands-on approach, but I packed it in anyway and decided that that day was not my day for painting. I worked on this painting at home using the "bones" Bernard had shown me just when I needed the gentle reminder. Thank you Bernard!
After another delicious meal, one of the other painters, Tanya Radic, did a handwriting analysis for everyone who was interested. After that people chatted and played games in the galley while waiting their turn to be analyzed. Several went out to paint a nocturne.
