Lately I’ve been noticing the signs of burnout with oil painting.
The best cure for burnout for me is two things: plein air watercolor, since it’s so fresh and relaxing; and a visit to the art museum. I’d like to go to LACMA, but it’ll probably be a couple of weeks before I make the drive to LaLaLand.
So today I hopped in the truck and felt the pull to Mission Bay. I’m always intrigued by the palms over the low flat roofs of the houses.
It turned out to be the perfect choice; there were people playing beach volleyball, sailboats and jet skis, kids laughing, and a cool breeze off the water. A great painting day.

Fiesta Island – for sale
Today’s plein air painting, painted on location at Fiesta Island in Mission Bay. Nice spot.
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.
Ocean Beach Painting- For Sale
This plein air painting is looking at Ocean Beach from across the channel in Mission Beach.

I’d gone down there to paint the water, but I liked the way these palm trees stuck up over the curve of the grassy hill.
