LIVING LIGHTLY ON THE LAND

I've got paint and paper and sketchbooks all packed, and my husband and I are heading out on a road trip, planning to drive up the Northern California and Oregon coasts, meandering and exploring slowly all the way along. We will start just north of San Francisco and spend our first two nights in Sea Ranch, CA. Quote from the book "Sea Ranch...Diary of An Idea" by Lawrence Halprin: "Living Lightly On The Land" was the overarching idea and guiding mission underlying all aspects of the design and creation of Sea Ranch. We've spent a lot of time on the Big Sur Coastline which I find very inspiring and think is visually similar, but not this far north, nor have I been to Sea Ranch. I'm looking forward to it. Our mission is to slow down, explore the landscape, take it all in, and capture and express it in paint and photographs.
