Getting out of the studio to paint on location

  My studio in Southern California stays very cold  in the winter.  I find it easier to go outdoors to paint  and to get warm. I often seek out places that that are quiet and serene as well as sheltered from the wind. I am not the type of painter that would brave the snowy mountains to do a painting. But, I have managed my gear so that I can hike a good distance from the car.

This the Back Bay in Newport Beach. It will be on display in April at the Muth Galery at the Newport Back Bay preserve. (9x12 oil on panel)
