When I'm in the studio and start to feel like I 

need to get out and paint,  the coast is the first 

place I think of.  It has all the elements I look

for in order to create a good painting. 

 

This particular scene as set up for me.  A great

design with beautiful color and light.  This was 

painted right in the middle of the day,  but there 

were still some great blue shadows on the cliff

which complimented its golden tone.

 

I think this summer is going to be grand!
