Well, I'm considering naming this one "Mast-ectomy" because it's a sailboat with a missing mast. I assume it's in for repairs? Not a boat person so I could use some comment on this. This scene was overwhelming to me. I really had to reduce the detail and focus on the big things. I think I may still have too much detail but I'm still pretty satisfied with the result.

A beautiful sunny day in Aliso Viejo park. This was painted at a spot very near the 405 freeway. It was just behind us and the noise of the traffic was quite annoying. However, it always amazes me how those things fade into the background as you get involved in the painting process. It really is a form of meditation.

seriously late in updating paintings lately. I've been painting but also working and doing quite a bit of figure drawing. Another love of mine! This was a morning paint out at an obscure location in Orange County. I don't think I could find it again! This was actually done in May. Time flies!
