The Santa Paula River, or Creek, is a beautiful and magical place with it’s sights, sounds and smells of the complex flora, fauna and geology. Paul grew up spending weekends and summers at his grandparents’ Ferndale Ranch, now Thomas Aquinas College. The Santa Paula River runs right through it. Since early childhood the river was a special place for adventure. He and his cousins and brothers and sisters would fish in the river and hike and ride horses up the river canyon for fun and for work.
It is beautiful and rugged country. Past the ranch up the canyon were Pine Flats, officially Big Cone Camp Ground, Cross Camp and the Punch Bowl swimming area, and beyond that different falls and water slides and Last Chance Camp. Once around 1964 or ‘65 a Cessna 150 crashed far up the canyon. The pilot and passenger were slightly injured and walked out. Out of curiosity Paul, his sister and cousin hiked miles up the canyon to look for the wreckage. After miles of a very rugged hike through rocky and difficult terrain they found it. It had hit a tree on the steep river bank with one wing and came down in the high brush that held it and kept it from sliding further down the cliff into the water. The work part was the occasional round up on horseback and with vehicles of the ranch Angus bulls and “Whitey”, the ranch's Brahma bull that wandered free up through the area.
The area along the river was thick with trees and chaparral all the way up the canyon from Santa Paula to behind Ferndale until the floods of 1969 when the river cleared out the canyon and redefined the landscape, making it unrecognizable. At this location where the creek used to be 10 feet wide maximum with trees and brush on either side, during the flood a 100 plus yard constant flow of mud and rock exploded through the area flowed through the area. After it was over this was and still remains a field of rocks, the cliffs on the left a testament to the power of the water then.
Paul painted in the river while in school and continued afterwards, creating river canyon scenes and also more intimate studies of the creek itself capturing the impressionist feel and beauty of the continuously changing subtle colors of the rocks, vegetation, water and light of the river both up close and at a distance.
This painting was done on location in the river behind the ranch as the sun set on a November evening.
More about the Artist: Paul has a strong connection with Ojai and Ventura county. A 7th generation Californian through his family of Ventura County farmers and a Santa Paula rancher, hIs father’s mother grew up at the eastern end of Ventura Avenue, began teaching at San Antonio School in 1917 and told of Sherman Day Thacher inviting her students up to Thacher to play tennis. She later married and moved to Ojai where Paul’s father grew up and went to Villanova Prep where after WWII at a Villanova Prep social event he met his future wife and Paul’s mom. They married and after living in Northern California for a short while they brought their growing family back to Southern California. Paul and his brothers and sisters grew up spending most weekends and summers with their grandparents in Ojai and at the Ferndale Ranch in Santa Paula and he was also fortunate enough to attend Thacher where he fully enjoyed and appreciated the “Place”. Through the years he was thoroughly imbued with Ventura County’s unique and magical physical geography from the mountains to the sea and enjoys expressing it through the paintings of the area and he still drives his 1951 Ford Pickup he got from Ferndale Ranch, license plate 51 ARTRK.

Very Comfortable
Great! I was a little concerned when it came so tightly shrink wrapped, but a day or two later and it’s in great shape. It’s actually pretty comfortable, good angle. It’s a good width and pretty long to accommodate all body types. I like it can be two heights. My adult kids said it felt like memory foam. I can add my own pillow too to further adjust to my liking. I occasionally get bad heartburn or sick where I need to sleep sitting up. This helps me do that in bed. I tried using it every night at first because I usually sleep with two large stacked pillows, but I’m a side sleeper and it eventually hurt my neck. So, not great if you sleep on your side. I also just lay a pillow case across it to keep clean. You can unzip and take off the cover for cleaning, but I almost never get stuff like that back on right. I got the dark gray cover and I like the soft feel. I’m glad I got it.

Lifesaver while recovering from rotator cuff surgery
This pillow was a lifesaver, it’s sturdy yet comfortable and can be used many different ways! Great price and size too! I like that when I opened it, there was no smell! If you’re looking for a wedge pillow, this one will do the job!!

It is a great wedge pillow, but takes time to get used to sleeping on your back
Color: Dark Grey & White, Size: Adjustable 9&12 Inch + 1 Head Pillow
I bought this for post-surgery, I had to sleep on my back. Nearly impossible as a lifelong side sleeper. It is memory foam, and it does seem to run hot. But after a couple of weeks, I'm adjusting to it. Back sleeping is best for saving your face from AM wrinkles and mascara smears all over pillows. (Yes I know, I should take off mascara before bed, but....). Now that I've adjusted to sleeping with it, it stays on my bed and I wake up without the creases on my face and neck! So if you are buying pre-surgery, buy in advance to adjust to a new style of sleeping! I'm keeping it!

Its worth the purchase!
Color: Black, Size: Adjustable 9&12 Inch + 1 Head Pillow
Bought this pillow because Im dealing with both GERD and neck pain so I decided to order this and hope for the best thats being said Im so glad I did because its helped me a lot with both issues.
Some extra comments: Its a little firm but not in a bad way and the head rest is comfy but I do wish I could bring it down lower.

Misleading: Pillow Itself Has Only TWO Configurations!! >:(
Color: Black, Size: Adjustable 9&12 Inch + 1 Head Pillow
I was sold on the 10-Option bit until I realized there are only 2 choices as far as flooping and flopping the pillow itself. It is 2 triangles, a large one and a small one. The large triangle IS THE SAME ANGLE ON EACH END. The small triangle IS ATTACHED TO THE CENTER OF THE LARGE TRIANGLE. That means no matter how you move the pillow itself, you're getting the EXACT SAME THING. Where YOU come in is where all these infinity "versatility" options are - whether you put it upright or whether you put it flat. That's it. All this I can read in bed! I can play on my laptop! I can watch TV! Yeah that's upright. Option 1. And all this I can put it under my legs! I can use it as a normal pillow as well! That's flat. Option 2. There is absolutely nothing special or different about this thing except the stupid pocket. Had they not made the triangle the same angles on the end, had they made a steep angle and a low angle and that center pillow detachable but still velcro - THEN there would have been more elevation options. But this, I was highly disappointed. It's like saying, My bed has 360 options! (because I can lay 360 different degrees around the bed) AND 360 MORE BECAUSE GUESS WHAT! I CAN LAY ON MY STOMACH 360 DIFFERENT DEGREES around the bed! Oh! And on my side 360 degree different ways! Wait I have a left and a right side - the OTHER side I can lay on it around the bed 360 different degrees as well! And sitting cross-legged on the bed 360 different degree directions as well! So. No. It's a firm memory foam pillow. You lay upright or lay down or you put it under your legs or on your lap. It changes 2 ways and you make it work 4 ways. That's it. Yes it smells but not too bad, not foul, just persistently. Like a light chemical smell but it didn't aggravate me (I get scent, etc. migraines). It self-inflated pretty fast. But as you can tell, I was not impressed with it in reality. :(
