Quintessential Isla Vista Begins To Take Shape
This morning I started the painting above. It's only a start...but "Quintessential Isla Vista" is beginning to have a personality. I'll post the progress next time I work on it.

Painting The Cover - UCSB Housing Guide
UCSB's Housing Department has requested that I paint the cover for their next Housing Guide, and I'm absolutely honored! I couldn't exactly remember the last time I was out in Isla Vista... I think I took some clients out there to look at residential income properties they wanted to purchase quite awhile ago, and I remember feeling very old...the same way I felt today! I made a trip out there at the end of the day to take some photos for material to paint. Isla Vista had that same gloomy sky hanging over it (of course the rest of Santa Barbara was bright and sunny) and the familiar Isla Vista signature scent. I decided long ago that it's a mixture of the ocean, tar, beer, and urine. That's what you get with 25,000 (+/-) students living in a square mile right on the ocean! Luckily I didn't fall off the cliff taking the photos. I took quite a few, and it brought back a lot of memories. Right now I'm leaning toward painting one of, or a combination of, the photos above, and I'm thinking of doing a Facebook vote with my fellow UCSB alumni to see which photos they like. I'll post the final results soon - the waves will get bigger and the sky will magically turn blue - Bagel Cafe anyone??

New Painting ~ Indonesian Village
Indonesian Village by Emily McBride, Oil on Canvas, 36" x 60"
(This canvas is very large so I am including a few photos of the painting closer up to give a better sense of the colors and detail.)

Shows Her Face...
A friend of mine said to me today that this painting looks like a face...with the lip of the wave being the front of the face and the actual face of the wave looking like hair. Do you see it? Anyway, I thought that was great. Just finished this painting earlier this week:

Local artist, Emily McBride, will show her spectacular oil paintings at Eden home and gift boutique from 5pm - 8pm, for February's First Thursday event. Complementing the unbelievably chic home and gift items already offered at Eden, McBride's works feature gorgeous ocean scenes and landscapes from picturesque places she's been, including Indonesia, France, Fiji, Tahiti ... and some from Santa Barbara.
