San Diego - The Del Coronado - Point Loma

I was lucky enough to go on a painting trip with a few wonderful friends and have a fabulous time painting on the beach this past weekend for a few days. I stayed at the Del Coronado which was like heaven on earth. An old Victorian hotel... you will not want for anything! The perfect location for inspiration, fun and relaxation.

 

Point Loma 9x12" Oil on Linen

I did a daytime painting of Point Loma in oils on 9x12 linen boards. I wasn't used to painting on Linen and was more used to my birch panels - but after I struggled a bit - the end result is a little bit more polished. I also did a sunset one of point Loma - and had to paint fast! It was exhilarating... the sunset disappeared in about 20 minutes... it was a race to catch the light!
