7″ x 11″, Oil on Paper
I was struck by the play of light and color on the San Diego River in Mission Trails, near the Mission Dam, where fallen branches in the river catches the reeds pushed down the river by the increased water flow from winter rains (normally the river is barely more than a stream.)
I have been working on my big studio triptych of San Diego Skyline as seen from across the bay in Coronado. (I will post some photos of the work in progress in my misc section as soon as I take some photos) I am tremendously excited by this new triptych painting and I’m finding it increasingly difficult to tear myself away from it, as a result my little one sitting plein air paintings have taken a back seat for awhile. Hopefully, I will soon strike a healthy balance between my studio and outdoor work and not all be one or the other.
