Laguna Beach Painting
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, Dana Point California
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.
Ocean Beach Painting
This plein air painting is looking at Ocean Beach from across the channel in Mission Beach.
From 12/31- officially my last painting of 2012!

“Places Here,” a show of my urban landscapes, will open January 18 at the Lyceum Gallery in downtown San Diego.
Blacks Beach Painting 2
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.

A plein air piece from the bluffs overlooking Torrey Pines Beach.
(Spun the easel around for the photo, I was actually painting the opposite view.)
Santa Barbara Beach
A golden afternoon on the beach in Santa Barbara, California.
Waves on the Rocks, Cabrillo
Waves crashing on the rocks on Cabrillo point. I’d planned to touch up this plein air painting in the studio, but after living with the painting for a while, decided to leave it as-is. Something about the less polished state appeals to me.
Cliffs by the Sea in Santa Barbara
