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.

Beach plein air

A plein air work from my recent trip to Laguna Beach. I’d planned this one as just a color study of the softening light towards evening, but I like the tranquil mood of the completed painting.

A collector asked me to keep this one on hold for a few days- but here are more Laguna Beach Paintings for sale.
