Shell Beach Plein Air

So I've recently moved myself and now my art studio from SF proper up to the Sebastopol area in the North Bay. There's an active and prospering art community up here that I'm excited to get more involved with as well as many gorgeous places for painting, which are the main reason I made the move. After living in cities for over half my adult life, I was ready to make a move back to nature and the peaceful serenity it offers my creativity.

Pics of my new home-based studio are forthcoming, but in the meantime, here is the first of many plein air paintings to come this year.
