San Luis Obispo
Plein Air 2012
 
 
 This was one of the first things I saw, but the last painting I did.
The atmospheric perspective, was incredible, I had to try it.
Its just off  Los Osas Valley road, in SLO County.

Coast line of Central California is made to paint !
Just stopping randomly I found this vantage point from above the shoreline.
The Sun sets to my right, which lights up the forms on the shore nicely.

Driving further up the coast to Cambria, I found this beautiful scene
complete with fall colors California style.

The Ol farm sits quietly right in the city of San Luis Obispo,
notice the "progress" going on in the background.

.K. venturing even further up the coast, all the way to San Simion.
