In the studio

How a piece actually gets made.

A short walk through the practice — what happens on the beach, what happens at the easel, and how the painting gets to your wall.

On site.

Many paintings begin outdoors, plein air, at the edge of the water — “Hotel Laguna” at Heisler Park in Laguna Beach, “Vista Hermosa” on a small bluff in San Clemente, “Sail Away” from a Dana Point day.

In oil.

Cynthia works in oil on canvas, linen, panel and canvas board, and finishes each piece in the studio.
