Morning Light - Organ Pavilion 9x12 oil on panel Painted en plein air in Balboa Park. Love painting in the park, so many ornate buildings. Was drawn to the morning light on the colonnade, a very challenging subject.
I was born in Leiscestershire, England in 1957, but grew up in Southern California. I currently live in San Diego. I have always been facinated by fine art and particulary the art of landscape painting. I also enjoy the outdoors, so plein air painting is the perfect activity for me.
