A one sitting plein air oil on panel – 12″ x 14″ of San Diego’s Balboa Park with a view of the Cabrillo Bridge. I was particularly attracted to this scene by the play of light, rhythms of form and shape, and the dramatic bridge with its reflected light illuminating its underside.
Despite how much I like this little painting’s freshness and tonal resolutions, I am thinking a larger, more ambitious painting might capture even better how spectacular this scene truly is and I am planning on returning very soon to work on a new painting with the same view, probably in the 30″ x 40″ size.
