Shangri La
Shangri La was inspired by the magic and abundance of Ojai, a magical small town in California nestled in a Valley embraced by the Twin Trees of Ventura, the Pacific Ocean, and the Santa Barbara hills (represented in this artwork by the Mission of Santa Barbara). I tried to capture the abundance of Ojai’s agriculture, from pomegranites to Pixie tangerines to lavendar and citrus groves and vineyards. I love the huge white Matillija poppies, with their cheery yellow centers. Ojai has lovely Mediterranean/Spanish architecture, beautiful walkways and arches, and lovely shopping and eateries. It also has little farms with all sorts of farm animals and wonderful horse ranches.
