"My inspiration comes from the beauty I see in all of God's Creation." - Artist Jose Barba
"From the beautiful colors of the sun rising over the mountains in the morning to the light shining through a translucent wave at sunset. My hope is that my art would be an outward expression of the light coming from within."

"In my most recent project, 'Recycled Art', I repurpose elements cut from my own artwork and my photos to create new Mixed Media Collages." - Artist Lynda Frautnick
I have always wanted to be an artist, but life always got in the way. However, in retirement I was able to reinvent myself. I started with workshops in Chinese Watercolor and fell in love with the medium. Eight years later, I quite accidentally discovered Alcohol Ink and have spent five years teaching myself and refining my techniques with these vibrant inks. During the pandemic last year, I began taking online classes in Abstract Acrylic. At present, I'm obsessed with the cutting up old art work to recycle and repurpose into Mixed Media Collage. I am a member of Santa Clarita Artists Association and Women Painters West, and I finally call myself an artist.

Plein Air and Art Supply Swap at Judy Reinsma's Ranch - Friday May 21, 2021
|
This month we will meet at :
Judy Reinsma’s Ranch at 29750 San Francisquito Canyon Road, two miles from Copper Hill, from 9:00 to 12:00. Come prepared to find a lovely barn, canyon views and horses. It is not far from Santa Clarita but seems like another world. I hope you will come and enjoy this beautiful spot where the film industry likes to film. This year we have a plus. Judy will open her 40 by 60 car barn with tables set up in half the barn. These tables are perfect to bring your art supplies that you no longer need or no longer want. You decide to sell’em, trade’em or give’em away. Then just hang out and relax. We met at Judy’s home last year and found a great deal to draw and paint. It is a great location with several buildings, views, as well as horses to draw. We can enjoy sharing information about painting outdoors. Come with a sketchbook or your medium of choice. It is a great way to spend time outdoors. To get to Judy’s home Take Copperhill to San Francisquito Canyon Road and go north. Follow the road for 2.4 miles to Riverview Road and turn right. Judy’s ranch is the first gate on the left. Also check with GPS to get more detailed instructions from where you live. Call or email if you need further information. Hope to see you at the ranch!
