I have been missing in action at the
San Clemente Plein Air Competition all last week. My friend, Linda Williams, was nice enough to allow me to stay with her at her wonderful condo overlooking the San Clemente Pier. I invaded with easels, paints, frames, artwork and a car full of stuff.
After I settling in, I decided to paint the view from the balcony overlooking the pier. The June gloom had not entirely lifted, and a fog bank hovered along the horizon but the sun was out and it turned the ocean a lovely turquoise. Not a bad view for me to enjoy all week.
The next morning I had signed up to go over to Casa Romantica, which was right next door. I walked from the condo to the magnificent keyhole entryway. The inside did not disappoint with beautiful gardens and wonderful details like this wood carved portal.

I love all of these paintings you did at San Clemente, they are all beautiful. I can see you were really busy and you did get some good views that you went to paint.
Keep up the good work.
