Dog Beach – commission
This commission was based on an earlier plein air painting from the same spot- looking across the channel at Dog Beach from Mission Beach. I painted the plein air version on Dec 31, 2012 so it was officially my last painting of the year.

Capistrano Beach Painting – For Sale
Late afternoon haze at Capo Beach in Dana Point.
I am a person who usually finishes my oil sketches into more elaborate paintings because I like them polished- but in this case, the loose treatment seemed to reflect the quality of the light. So I left it.
