A Weekend Well Spent

Thank you to all of you that stopped by the San Dieguito Art & Garden Mother's Day Tour this weekend and said hello.   We had a wonderful time and several paintings found new homes.

Batiquitos Eastward is heading back down to Off Track Gallery in Encinitas.   I usually paint looking toward the west when on this trail but on this cloudy day I turned and looked east towards La Costa.   Enjoy!

It was a "late start" painting day last week when we headed to the Lagoon.    Since I parked on the far side and hiked in with easel and backpack in tow it was close to 11 before I got started.   The sun was straight up, blaring a blue sky with lots of green and not much pink and red to be found.

I would like to go back and paint this scene a little earlier in the morning or late afternoon to catch some warm tones.
