LAGUNA CANYON FOG PLEIN AIR STUDY BY TOM BROWN

“LAGUNA CANYON FOG”
Approx. 5x7 inch original oil painting
by Tom Brown

Off to the left of Laguna Canyon Road I spotted this marvelous little scene while driving up the canyon early one morning. I had no time to do a full-sized painting so I quickly recorded the essence of the scene in this little oil study on canvas.

The plan was to use it as the basis of a larger studio painting when I had the time. Somehow I’ve never gotten around to doing the larger painting. What is it they say? The best laid plans of mice and men . . .

Because of its size, this little study seems to have a special charm that I feel it wouldn’t be the same in a larger painting.

I’ve had it on my studio wall now for more than ten years, and finally decided to share it on my blog.

Thanks for stopping.
