I was happy when the Original Plein Air Painting, “Hometown Treasure”, was accepted into the California Art Club’s exhibition: En Plein Air: An Exploration of Malibu and Ventura County during the summer of 2021.
After the Exhibition I donated the painting to the SANTA PAULA ART MUSEUM Auction Fundraiser and it was purchased by wonderful collector -- the proceeds going to the Museum.
This Queen Anne treasure is located down the street from our family home where my sister lives. Across the street from Mill Park. I’ve longed to paint it as the afternoon sun hits the beautiful ornamental shingle pattern, slanted bay windows, cornices, dentils since forever. Finally took a couple afternoons and gave it a go. Designed and built in 1893 by well-known Santa Paula architect Herman Anlauf whose other notable local designs include the Faulkner House and the Adolfo Camarillo residence, this home was the personal residence of Anlauf and his family.

PIGMENT: We use Epson DURABrite Ultra pigment ink which has a permanence resistance rating up to 105 years as rated by Wilhelm Imagine Research a leading authority of print permanence. For make print life display prints under glass or UV filter. Pigment inks such as DURABrite Ultra consist of pigment particles suspended in the ink. Once applied to the paper, they will not dissolve and will not stain if they become wet.
Epson’s DURABrite Ultra pigment ink uses an exclusive Microencapsulation technology where each pigment particle is encased in a resin. A unique polymer pulls the particles apart, so they are suspended in the solution and never coagulate. The ink base then helps the DURABrite Ultra pigment particles penetrate the paper. DURABrite Ultra ink uses a specific technology to control the penetration level of the ink and keep the colorant near the surface and a special formula that creates more Vibrant & bright colored prints. Conventional dye-based ink particles are absorbed into the fibers of plain paper and are soluble in water. Pigment inks come at a higher cost than dye inks but you can feel confident in your investment that will last for generations.
