Plein Air Tree

Fort Bragg Beach Scene

3X5′ oil on canvas I’ve decided to finally come back to this one and finish it. It’s a big one for me at 3X5 feet. I worked on this beach scene last summer after our trip to Northern California for spring break. We like to get together with family and stay at a beach house onContinue reading “Fort Bragg Beach Scene”
