Foggy View from Sunset Cliffs with CAC Oil on Panel 8″ x 10″ 3/19/09
Got to meet some wonderful plein air painters today with the California Art Club paint out at Sunset Cliffs. In particular it was nice to meet Jeff Yeomans. as it’s always great to meet other cityscape painters. This was the fruits of my labors. Could of used more time and more experience painting waves. As the weather heats up I am planning on spending more time painting the water.

Mt Woodson Boulder Grouping # 18 Oil on Panel 8″ x 10″ 3/13/09
From on top of the mountain on the west side. An amazing grouping of boulders, I kept shaking my head while painting it that anything could be so wonderful! There are many trees here burnt from the fires of a couple of years ago, without realizing it I kept brushing up against one while painting and my clothing was covered in crazy charcoal marks. I hope to do another painting where these blackened trees silhouetted against the white boulders make for some powerful imagery.
