2019 Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational - "The Light Dims on Laguna Canyon Road"

As Kimberly and I left California after the 2018 Laguna Plein Air Painters Association's #LPAPA20th, we were both struck by the glow of the eucalyptus trees along the highway to San Diego as the sun set over the ocean.

I thought about that scene all year, wanting to capture the way the light faded from top to bottom on those trees. I finally got my wish.
