The Malibu Creek Park

The recent series of paintings all came from scenes located at Malibu Creek State Park. If you were to ever visit the place, it would be pretty easy to see why it provides such a remarkable location for landscape painting. Here are some other interesting facts about Malibu Creek that hopefully give some more meaning to the paintings
 
  • Besides providing refuge to those southern Californians who need the escape of the great outdoors, it is also has been a film location of movies such as Sand Pebbles, Planet of the Apes,Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and many others.It also served as a main location spot for the TV series M*A*S*H.
  • Film makers as well as the general public have been entranced with this place and for good reason. Malibu Creek is the home to three natural preserves which includes Liberty Canyon (730 acres), Udell Gorge (300 acres) and Kaslow Preserve (1920 acres).
  • Mountain lions, bobcats, mule deer, golden eagles, and southern steelhead are the animals that call this park home.
