It's actually not so far from coastal communities by the Pacific Ocean, probably less than 20 miles, but a drive on a winding road through farms, hills of citrus groves, and oak forests to a small town of Ojai will take us to a place that seems like a world apart.

Situated in the Ojai Valley, this hamlet is known to attract many visitors who admire its beautiful hilly landscape.  They also come for various art events, spas, golf, or just to enjoy a small town feel.

The tower built in the Spanish Revival style of architecture that attracts attention on the main street is a local post office.  So charming a landmark, I painted it from two different spots on the town's tree-shaded streets.

You have such a unique style Keiko. You bring quality and detail to each work. One of the best watercolorists I know. Wish I could do this! Do you paint in oils much?

Hi Martyn, thank you very much for your kind comment. I started watercolor painting some time ago and I love it so much. When I think about how I started, I feel like the medium chose me, not the other way around. I'm interested in oils, too - maybe some day it will choose me?

I am so amazing, impressed of your hard working.

Hello Chew, it is very kind of you to visit my blog and make a comment. I too enjoy your work on Facebook and hope to keep in touch so we can share our future creations.
