I’ve been drawn to sculptural trees lately, ones near the ocean that have been twisted and bent by the wind. This piece is from Mount Soledad in La Jolla, California.
Torrey Pines San Diego Painting
Afternoon light on the pines- for sale
I wanted to paint this hillside because it reminded me of Monet’s series of paintings of the Customs House at Varengeville.
Monet worked in series, capturing the same thing in different light effects. Some of these paintings are here in the USA, and you can see them side by side. There are several of the Rouen Cathedral paintings at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, and several of the Haystack paintings at the Getty in LA.
But I think the Customs House paintings are scattered. We have one here in San Diego at the SMDA, and I just saw another at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. It was the one at the Legion of Honor- a riot of pinks during a blazing noon- that made me think about this place in Torrey Pines.

Golden light in Torrey Pines, Del Mar, California.
What I love about these trees is the way, when they are planted in certain places the wind sculpts them into undulating, twisting goblin shapes. They remind me of trees in a Japanese garden.

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.
