“This book began in June 1992 as Glenna Hartmann and I were driving up the coast between Santa Barbara and Gaviota across land that was once part of the vast Nuestra Senora del Refugio land grant. After weeks of wet gloom, the fog had finally lifted - it was a beautiful day with the islands clear on the horizon. J. J. Hollister had invited us to do some painting on his historic Arroyo Hondo Ranch, which was also part of the Refugio holdings.”
