Almost every month I go out to enjoy painting with the group of artists from the Malibu/Ventura Chapter of the California Art Club. This month we went to Malibu Creek State Park, located in the Malibu highlands between Thousand Oaks and Malibu Beach. I have painted there many times and always enjoy the hiking and the wonderful views.
There was a large group of painters who spread out all over the park. Some chose to paint the creek near the parking lot, while others hiked in to paint other views. I hiked in a bit and crossed over the creek. It was fairly low and I managed to walk across some low rocks without falling in or breaking anything. (Whew!!)
I enjoyed my morning painting ... It's pretty hard not to have a great time painting in a beautiful spot and chatting with friends from all over. I saw so many friends -- some had come down from the Ventura area and others live on the westside so I don't usually get to see them. Beautiful weather, great activity and fun friends... what could be better?
Some of us had decided to paint in the morning and then scoot over to the Weismann Museum on the Pepperdine University Campus to see the "On Location In Malibu" Exhibit. This is a wonderful juried exhibit of views of all of the Malibu Beach and Inland areas painted by the Artist Members of the California Art Club. The show will be up until early August, so if you get a chance you should drive to Malibu and enjoy seeing it!
