Watercolor’s been speaking to me lately, and oil less so. Normally I’m more of an oil person but I’ve been at this long enough to know there’s no sense in trying to force it. So watercolor it has been. Another day today with unseasonably overcast skies and a little rain.

San Diego Beach Painting Cabrillo

Painted on location in Cabrillo, on Point Loma. for sale

Went to Cabrillo today to paint with my friend Margaret.

This composition is weird. I did not know if this would work, and I’m not 100% sure it does work. But it is what it is. I think as artists we need to try to step outside what is comfortable and push the ‘rules’ or even break all of them while staying inside a particular tradition.

Here’s mine:

We also learned, from eavesdropping on tourists, that people in Spain are more dedicated about recycling than people in Texas. It’s only hearsay though, so don’t quote me on it.
