Where They Create: Ojai Studio Artists Tour

I went to play just to play. You hit a lot of shots; you play a lot of holes. Coming here, I feel a little bit more of a hunger." Since the FedEx Cup began in 2007, the tour had a half-dozen events that were nothing more than playing opportunities for the restless or a time for others to make enough money to secure their cards for the following season. Winning didn't come with an invitation to the Masters. It didn't count toward the FedEx Cup.

Medically discharged from the Marines in 2007 after serving two years, he couldn't hold a steady job, struggled in his personal life, lost many of his friends and wrangled with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs over benefits payments.

This years tour, titled Over, Under, Around, and Through will also visit local construction sites as part of the 13-mile ride sponsored by the Somerville Bicycle Committee. The bicyclists will meet at 10 a.m. behind the Holland Street entrance to the Davis Square MBTA stop before departing for the tour. A rain date for the ride has been scheduled for Sunday, Oct.

The descriptive words get butterier -- "nestled" and "nook" and "romance" are very often trotted out -- and the pictures have an added glow. But there are only a few art towns that can create that inner butter and glow, rather than having to have it applied at a later date. Ojai is not only one, it is practically a leader in the butter-and-glow field. It creates its own inner light daily -- look to its famous Pink Moment, the time of day when the sky and mountains grow rosy -- and look to its funky denizens, its film scene, the hiking trails, and its robust art community for the butter. Those things just come naturally to the town that sits a pinch north of Ventura, give or take, and always have; John Lennon was drawn to the place, as are a number of actors, screenwriters, and, yep, the great comic master Sergio Aragones.
