Open Studio Art Tours taking place this month in several areas of the Central Coast, is the ultimate road trip!  After visiting artists in Cambria (and some AMAZING scarecrows) last weekend, I plan to visit the San Luis Obispo area this weekend.  On my list is the studio of Jayne Schelden (#141) in Shell Beach.  Her oil painting, Canyon Shadows, Johnson Ranch Trail caught my eye because the 242 acres of Open Space on the Johnson Ranch, right off HWY 101 south of San Luis Obispo, is one of our favorite hiking destinations.  And as you can see by Jayne’s painting, our hills and canyons are still beautiful even after a long summer.  Take a ride to the Central Coast this weekend and say hello to our painters, jewelers, potters, glass designers and other unique artisans participating in the Arts Obispo Open Studios Art Tour.  You know in December you’ll want to have something “just right” to put under the Christmas tree.
