In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future's broadening way;  
In peace tat only Thou canst give,
With Thee, O Master, let me live!
                            - Washington Gladden, 1879

Mission Trails Morning, 11 x 14 oil

 

During our recent vacation with family in California I was privileged to paint with the San Diego Plein Air Painters group at a couple locations.  Beautiful Southern California!  Now that we live only 5 hours away, I hope to go there often to capture the hills, the ocean and the historical landmarks. (and catch a Padres game!)
