We have had a pretty wet last couple of weeks, but during a break between storms, I headed out to Half Moon Bay<\/a> to meet with an old college days friend for lunch. \u00a0Of course, I have to make it a day with some painting and droning along the way!<\/p>\n

After waiting for rush hour traffic to die down, took off for the hours drive to Half Moon Bay. \u00a0By the time I arrived, it was only about an hour before lunch, so explored a bit, took pictures, and a couple drone flights.<\/p>\n

After a long lunch, I headed up the coast to an area called Devil’s Slide<\/a>. \u00a0Recently, Caltrans built a tunnel bypassing the slide area, but the last turnout allows walking access to the old road, so decided to do a painting right there. \u00a0By that time I only had a couple hours to paint before the parking lot closed.<\/p>\n

I didn’t really get a finished painting as I was enjoying the scenery as much as working. \u00a0I am still trying to decide if I should finish the painting in the studio, or start a new one sometime in the future.<\/p>\n

Below are a few pictures of the day. \u00a0Click on the thumbnail for a larger view<\/em>.<\/p>\n

There was no droning allowed right there, so I drove back down the coast and took some arial shots. \u00a0Enjoy this short video above the beautiful California Coast entitled “Coastal Soothe<\/strong>“…<\/p>\n
