Santa Claus Lane

20 x 30 inches

oil on canvas

sold

This is one of the nicest beaches in the Santa Barbara area. I had an unbelievable day here painting this last Tuesday. It was super warm and the water was just the right coolness. I took a few dips while working and I think it helped my concentration. This is the largest painting I have attempted to do all in one day. I almost did it but had to stop because the light had changed too much.
