This piece is paired in the "Inspired by History" exhibition with Conrad Buff's "Still Life." I selected this subject as it was unusual for Buff to deal with the still life, as landscape was his usual motif.

I found the spot very near where Alfred Mitchell had painted his work, also titled "Torrey Pines," above the Los Penasquitos Lagoon just south of the town of Del Mar. It was a bit overgrown since Mitchell was there some time ago, but still beautiful, nonetheless.
