Announcing Wine Coast Country's New Website - PS, I'm On There!
For the last few months, I've been anxiously awaiting the new WineCoastCountry.com website to debut with ten of my favorite Central Coast landscape paintings on the home page. Now, I can announce that it's up! I was deeply honored when they requested to use my work for the California Highway One Discovery Route site because it's not often that travel publications ask for paintings. Usually, photography gets all the glory. But, the folks at WineCoastCountry and I agree that when it comes to really capturing the magic of where we live, paintings bring something to the table that photography often doesn't.

Getting the Feel of Wine Coast Country
Each of the ten paintings on WineCoastCountry's home page is a reflection of the spirit you'll find in each location. You can feel the dusk coming, shading the cliffs in blue at Ragged Point, feel the salt spray under the lighthouse at San Simeon, and feel the warm lingering light of sunset on a stroll along Cambria's coastline. These paintings, many of them plein air, come alive and bring you in. Can you feel the wind on Avila Beach? Because it's right there in every brush stroke! The California Highway One Discovery Route goes from Ragged Point in Southern Big Sur, through our county all the way to Oceano! What a fun adventure to see all these 10 Destinations!

Yes, landscape paintings are all about translating the feel of each place on canvas, which is why I think they're especially well suited to entice travelers to our stretch of coast. We have some truly beautiful places here, and so much to offer to hikers, wine lovers, food lovers, families, and of course, artists! In fact, visiting the Laurel Sherrie Studio is even listed on the site as a fun activity! I certainly think so - but I'm a little biased.
