Morro Rock Paintings

My wife and I love the Central Coast community of Morro Bay, CA and spend as much time there as possible. At the foot of the harbor lies Morro Rock, a 576-foot high extinct volcano that never fails to touch me in a profoundly centering, spiritual way. It is one of my most frequently painted subjects.
