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.
Leadbetter Beach- buy now
Leadbetter Beach in Santa Barbara. I think it’s also spelled Ledbetter Beach. Beautiful place.
Rocks – for sale
Painted yesterday on location in Ocean Beach, San Diego.
Bit of a light glare on the painting, since I photographed it while still wet. Will have to try again when it’s dry in a couple of days.
Shelter Island- for sale
Boats moored in the marina at Shelter Island/ Point Loma.
Rocks at Crystal Cove – for sale
This is Crystal Cove in Laguna Beach. Such an atmospheric day- dramatic clouds, glassy water, the whole 9 yards. It looked like a painting. 😉
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.

This was my last painting of the morning- and probably begun around 10:30 AM, before dashing off to a birthday celebration! May have been earlier though; I was out there at sunrise.
Lake Murray, San Diego- Buy Now
This plein air landscape is from last Sunday’s California Art Club get-together at Lake Murray in San Diego. I got an early start and was working by 7:30, though the paint out started at 9. As usual, I got lost and the rest of the group materialized on the spit of land I was painting, instead of the one I was standing on.
