If you look closely, you'll notice that the town name (Los Altos) is misspelled in this painting.  I noticed the spelling error as I was completing the painting, but I liked how it was a result of just painting in the moment. I had not been thinking about the letters, words or content - I was just making marks in a very right-brain way.  I decided not to correct the spelling error because it was an honest plein air rendering and I like how each piece is an origional attempt to capture a brief moment in time.

This is a painting of one of my favorite spots along the coast.  When the tide is right, the waves surge through the blow-hole, and the morning light is spectacular.
