May 15, 2023 General Meeting 6:30 at The MAIN Demo Artist Kris Buck


Kris Buck, born and raised in Santa Barbara, has been painting with pastels since 2003 when she began her artistic journey. She has painted many times throughout France, along with canals in Venice and the lakes in Italy, and the oceans and landscape in her own backyard in Southern California.

"I fell in love with 'plein air' painting because it allowed me to be in beautiful places and to focus on the moment. I strive to have the viewer want to be in that place in the painting and so I tend to paint vignettes instead of vast panoramas. I have been exhibiting award-winning pastel and oil paintings since 2002. Born and raised in Santa Barbara, I am a member of the Santa Barbara Art Association. My work is exhibited in major art festivals in southern California and continuously at Gallery Los Olivos in Los Olivos"

Plein Air: Friday, May 19, 2023 at Judy Reinsma's Ranch 9:00am- 12:00noon
​
This month we will meet at Judy Reinsma’s Ranch at 29750 San Franciscito 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.

We met at Judy’s home in 2021 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 Franciscito 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.
