Top of the World Lajolla

Top of the World La Jolla 9 x 12

This was a one hour study at the top of Mount Soledad in La Jolla. This was 12:30 to 1:30 as that's when the fog lifted.

I had such a wonderful time painting this mountain landscape looking down on the summer fog and the pacific! And to the north , where I live, maybe Carlsbad is in the distance.

Here's the scene and my set up:

Two spring plein air paintings from Carlsbad

Batiquitos Lagoon Trail 12 x 16

Spring Meadow 12 x 16

The lingering effects of the rains made spring in South Carlsbad a colorful place. "Batiquitos Lagoon Trail" was painted just off Batiquitos Drive and "Spring Meadow" was painted along 101 with drivers in their cars cheering me on.

It's a cliche but I had to get this sunset out of my system after years of fog sets in Northern California
