Aliso Creek is a beautiful and unique feature of southern Orange County, California. Originating in the Santa Ana Mountains and flowing into the Pacific Ocean at Laguna Beach, it is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and artists alike. I was inspired to capture the beauty of Aliso Creek in a plein air painting. I set up my easel along the creek bed and began to paint, taking in the peaceful sounds of the water and the chirping of the birds. One of the highlights of the painting was capturing the presence of ducks swimming in the creek, even into the winter months. Their playful movements added an extra touch of life and energy to the painting. I also made sure to capture the scenic beauty of the surrounding landscape in my painting, including the lush greenery and sparkling water. The combination of natural beauty and man-made elements, such as the path along the creek and the bridge crossing, added depth and interest to the artwork. Painting Aliso Creek was a rewarding experience, allowing me to showcase the beauty of this unique and special place. I am proud of the artwork I created and hope it inspires others to appreciate the beauty of Aliso Creek and its surrounding landscape.
