"San Roque Mountain Portrait", Santa Barbara, California.

"San Roque Mountain Portrait", 48 x 30 inches, oil on canvas, sold

Its a shame I didn't get a better pic of this painting before it went to its new home. This is probably my favorite paintings of the year. For the reason that this view does not exist like this. I added and moved and composed this out of the pieces before me. I wanted the mountain to be the star...

That explains why I did not recognize this view Chris! I know well and recognize almost all of the other subjects and views that are your subjects. Keep up the great work, it inspires me.
