Santa Barbara Historical Museum

Painting outdoors in the courtyard of the Santa Barbara Historical Museum was a real treat. Standing in the shade, I get a lovely view across the pool and fountain to the old building with its red tiled roof and wooden beams and dark walkway around the courtyard. The sound of the water from the fountain was very calming, hardly any people about, and all very inspiring.

El Presidio, Santa Barbara, watercolor, 15" x 11"
El Presidio in Santa Barbara is a historic Spanish fort built in 1782, right in the centre of the city. It was made with thick white adobe walls and red tile roofs, and some of the original buildings are still standing today. The site is now a 'park' with old buildings, shady trees, and open spaces, and you can walk around and explore the history.
