Captivated by the seascapes I witnessed during a trip to La Bufadora in 2004, I created multiple plein air studies to capture the imagery there. Even after three years, the need to express the essence of the place in paint remains. My most recent works were painted with acrylics, over 50% of which was reclaimed from the mis-tint section of stores like Home Depot and Mann Brothers in Hollywood. The canvases, 24" x 30", were found as castoffs in the painting studios at the University of Southern California after class ended last summer. Instead of ending up in the trash, these 2, along with 3 other large canvases, were salvaged, sanded, reprimed, and ready for new life as you can see.
