Ocean view from Point Loma, San Diego, CA

First time in San Diego! Only spent a few days there, but it's a lovely city, and we'll be back. The painting above was done on location in Point Loma, at Cabrillo National Monument. I used Cobra water-mixable oils, which I bought at the Plein Air Convention & Expo. Loved the consistency -- they don't feel as stiff as the W&N Artisan paints.

In my sketchbook, I tried to capture little vignettes of the city over the time we were there.
