Tony Peters, San Diego
Tony Peters painting at Torrey Pines State Park
I drove down to San Diego recently to scope out some new locations and paint with fellow artist Tony Peters. Tony and I went to Art Center together awhile back, and have been in a couple of exhibitions together, so it was great to catch up. We talked quite a bit – the journey of art, ideas and inspiration, artistic philosophies, etc. – when your work demands that you spend most of your time working solitarily, it’s great to have a meeting of the minds (and some drinks). Tony has a lot of great ideas that he puts into his work, and has been developing a very personal approach. He’s also a collecting nut when it comes to art books. If you don’t know Tony or his work, check out his blog when you have a chance, as there are a lot of good thoughts to peruse.

We sketched over at Torrey Pines State Park most of the time and stopped by the harbor too; I did a sketch around sunset overlooking Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve before I made my way back home.

Hey Eric,
I had a great time, glad we could hang out and do some plein-air painting too! I’ll post some of our pics on my blog when I finish up the pieces I started on location.
Nice, yeah that was fun. Have you ever painted over at Los Peñasquitos? I passed it on the way back to the freeway, pretty neat. I painted from an overlook, didn’t know there was an entrance further down the road.
