Best of Show-Purchase Award
 I just did this painting this morning and it won the Best of Show at the Ralph Love Plein Air Festival, in Temecula.  It was really hot, but I was set up in a nice shady spot... for a while.  The shade disappeared and I finished it in the baking sun, it was worth it though... one of my best I think.

Congratulations Shawn!
That's a great looking painting. All your work from San Clemente is very fine as well.
