"PCH at Torrey Pines" is 30 x 40 inches, oil on canvas. I particularly enjoy the idea of viewing the landscape as seen from a car, it feels like more of a contemporary take on an otherwise classic tradition of california painting. Like a drive to the beach after a long day at work, the golden hour. This one of my favorite San Diego spots, it's where Carmel Valley Road connects to the Pacific Coast Highway in Del Mar, Torrey Pines State Beach is to the left over the old bridge in the background (for some reason, the water in the background seems more yellow in this picture than it actually is in the painting). I really liked this view with the palm and that old house, I've painted it on location before. Because there's allot of atmosphere looking toward the bright sunset sky, depicting the color of everything in shadows was tricky.

some how this looks like you did it in photoshop. Gives it an extra contemporary feel.
Thanks Bill. It's a big painting, so being reproduced so small here on the blog takes away from all the brushwork and braveura.
interesting blog Tony. Some really great art.
I know this location. What a beautiful job you did on this. Arroyo Freeway Exit is also well done and definitely has the so Cal feel to it.
Really great work..
Thank you very much...
