Leadbetter Cliffs, 18x24

I've painted this spot many times, but I think this one is my favorite! 

This piece is already sold (snatched up from the studio!) but will be on display at Zookers here in Carpinteria until November 4th.  I have 20 paintings on display there and it's fun to see them all displayed together instead of crammed in my studio.
