Point Loma seen from Coronado. For sale
A hot morning. I went down to the beach to cool off.

Some people have a big fancy philosophy of plein air painting. Well, I am not one of them. There is no shame in working from photo references, I just like to be outside and that’s why I like to paint on location.
