This painting is a little larger than I usually paint.   Normally I stop at about 16"x20"; smaller works just seem to interest me more.  My galleries are not always happy with that sentiment, and I understand.  I guess there is more money in the big ones---if you sell them.  Anyway, as the title indicates, this is one of my favorite subjects.  If you go back through this blog you will find another painting of it.  I am doing a few boats at the present time, and will show them soon, if they look OK.              Mike

This is another Ca. painting, done a short distance from Morro Bay, the setting for most of my harbor scenes.   The water you see in the work is a tidal basin, and when the tide is out it's just marsh.   In the background is Morro Rock, around 800 ft, high, as I remember, (but don't bet on my memory!) standing alone in the real harbor, a couple of miles away.

This is a small painting of a scene in Morro Bay, Ca. painted on a Wednesday outing with the Irregulars.  A typical beautiful day.  Art, who was the lodestone of the group when we first started, owns the piece.  Below is a photo of Art as he typically looks on an outing.  Isn't this the way an artist should look?       Mike
