Just off of Studio Drive, South of Cayucos, California, lies a quiet place to view the morning mist coming off the Pacific. It's also a great place to capture the subtly patterns of color as new light tries to burn through.

Wednesday September 26, 2012 at Harmony, California. At the Elizabeth Tolley workshop, painting a delightful farm and happy moo’n cows. Cloudy cool morning, but the sun and warm breezes warmed us all up nicely by 11:00. After completing, I set this painting up along one of those telephone poles – further down the line - neighbors, and of course a breeze came, stirring up some loose straw, and found their way onto the wet oil paint. Long since dry, I haven’t wanted to wipe the straw off, it’s kind of endearing and a good lesson learned to not set your paintings down on the grass when still wet.

Morning fog at Cayucos, California as discarded remnants of the past, last nights seaweed, piles up on shore, as the hope of a new dawn shines in the distance.
