Looking southeast from Cliff Point at Heisler Park, in Laguna Beach, California, one is treated to a breathtaking view of land and sea. In this painting, the soft light of an overcast morning lends a mystical aura, drawing out beautiful subtle color variations in the hills and lovely browns and tans in the cliffs, rocks and sand. The sea is the crown jewel in this enchanting scene, glowing a captivating luminous robin's egg blue.

This painting was created outdoors on location, which is a practice also known as "plein air" painting (from the French words for "open air").
