another view of the Grinding Rocks. I thought I found this idyllic place where I could get away from curious people but found out this is the number one spot for whole classrooms of grammar school kids who love to pepper plein air artists with many difficult questions…

I think this was the first little painting I did in San Diego, I liked the Grinding rocks area of Mission Trails as it gave some respite from the grinding mid-day heat!
