Beautiful Buena Vista Lagoon in Oceanside, California! I painted this scene from the back parking lot of a restaurant overlooking the lagoon....not all Plein-Air sites are glamorous, but I didn't have to hike to the location!
This 23 x 17" original oil was painted during the 2025 Oceanside Museum of Art Plein Air festival, and took a total of two sittings...(about 5+ hours). The week long Plein-air event culminated with the submission of paintings to be juried into a show at the Museum. I was honored to have this and one other painting make it into the show. The 2025 Plein Air festival exhibition runs through January 11, 2026.
