This painting is from the California Art Club paint-out a couple of months ago. November or December, I think. It was a day with huge, hard to believe surf crashing and unbelievable light.

San Diego Skyline in Watercolor
San Diego Skyline from Spanish Landing Park- For Sale
A small plein air watercolor of the San Diego skyline seen behind the Harbor Island Marina.
I’ve mostly posted oil paintings here, and I continue to paint in oil every day. But I’m eager for the freedom of pen and ink, highlighted with watercolor, so I’m increasingly turning to watercolor for quick studies. Normally I use pastel for those, but I feel like a change. So watercolor it is! I thought you might like to see some of them.
I painted this yesterday- a perfect sunny day- over lunch at Spanish Landing Park.
What was the lunch? Pesto pasta.

Blacks Beach Painting 2
Blacks Beach Painting, San Diego
This is kind of a companion to yesterday’s Blacks Beach painting, both scenes looking out to sea, and painted at the same time.
When I go to Blacks Beach, I try to do several paintings, since it’s at the bottom of these wonderful soaring cliffs and the stairs down to it are so killer. It’s a great place to paint, with every kind of light effect imaginable from the ethereal to the very stark.
