From August

This piece was done en plein air on a recent trip to San Francisco. We spent 2 days sight-seeing, also checking out sights to paint. We finally went back to Stinson Beach. We walked the beach and I decided exactly where I wanted to sit. We went back to the car to move it closer and hauled all my painting "stuff" to the spot. As I set up my easel a huge fog bank came in and settled over us. I just wanted to throw a fit but then realized the opportunity before me. It really was a beautiful scene.

This was done in studio from a photo taken last year in Joshua Tree National Park in California. We took a great hike through this fabulous park. It was a wonderful day with great friends. As I look at the image as I uploaded I can see that it still needs some work. Or rather roughing up. It's jus too "tight" which often happens in studio painting. I'm glad it's not framed yet.
