A sunny Day at Point Lobos

Hi Paul, I was enjoying your latest painting and just discovered you originally came from Bournemouth which is where I live! You have often passed very favourable comments about my work on this site(including my latest oil "Late Afternoon, Walberswick") and now I can return the compliment about your work! I have toured California on several occasions and remember the coastline very vividly as you have portrayed it. A very accurate rendition and it doesn't take much imagination to 'hear' the waves! Loved reading about your life and background too! Geoff Storer
