"First Communion" by Saim Caglayan. 8 x 10. Unframed. Signed by the artist.
Saim Caglayan was born in Istanbul, Turkey and came to the United States in 1968. Saim has been plein air painting the landscapes of the California desert, coastline and Islands of Hawaii for many years now.
In 1996 he founded LPAPA, Laguna Plein Air Painters Association. His goal was to revive the tradition of the early California painters who had lived and painted in Laguna Beach. Today LPAPA has become a vibrant force in the art community of California with an impressive membership from Hawaii to Florida.
A wonderful scene painted on location in San Juan Capistrano. The painting was painted for a 2005 LPAPA invitational exhibit.
