Blacks Beach Painting- For Sale
I love the way the sky reflects in wave-wet sand.

Sunset Cliffs painting – for sale
Plein air painting as a storm blew in off the Pacific near sunset.
At Sunset Cliffs, in Ocean Beach.

The path to the beach – For Sale
Surfers, of course, sprint nimbly down the sheer cliffs. Personally, I use this twisting path- it leads from the Glider Port down to Black’s Beach.
Del Mar Beach Painting – for sale
A plein air piece from the bluffs overlooking Torrey Pines Beach.

(Spun the easel around for the photo, I was actually painting the opposite view.)

Coronado Beach Painting- For Sale
An absolutely gorgeous morning on Coronado.
This is from the California Art Club paint out last weekend.

Santa Barbara Beach Painting – For Sale
A golden afternoon on the beach in Santa Barbara, California.

Coronado Beach Painting San Diego – For Sale
This is an older painting, from a little further up the beach than where I worked on this piece last weekend:
The surf was much more dramatic on Saturday, but the colors of the day were almost the same. This is winter light in San Diego. 😉 (I did need a long sleeve shirt to ward off the chill.)

Kayaks on the Beach, La Jolla – For Sale
Kayaks drawn up on the beach in La Jolla. This is such a tranquil spot.
And unlike Black’s Beach, no need to climb down what must be thousands of feet of cliffs. 😉

Ocean Beach Painting, San Diego, California – For Sale
I painted this piece on a beautiful day in Ocean Beach last week. While I was working on it, I discovered the spot is a geo cache!

Sailboats on San Diego Bay – for sale
Sailboats on San Diego Bay. I enjoy the challenge of painting water, which is so many different colors at once, and the challenge of painting boats, which have complex curving shapes. This painting started out as drawings in a lawn chair on Shelter Island.

Blacks Beach Painting San Diego- for sale
Rolling surf seascape at Black’s Beach along the La Jolla, California coast. I love this beautiful area of the coast with its dramatic cliffs, wide beaches and hazy light; my knees love the stairs down to Blacks Beach somewhat less.

Torrey Pines Painting for sale
A painting of the Pacific off La Jolla, from the Torrey Pines Glider Port.

San Diego Seascape Painting- For Sale
Waves crashing on the rocks on Cabrillo point. I’d planned to touch up this plein air painting in the studio, but after living with the painting for a while, decided to leave it as-is. Something about the less polished state appeals to me.
With this painting, I was aiming for what Monet did with the cliffs at Etretat:
He did many paintings there, and I’m going to try again with this one at a lower elevation, which I hope will give the cliffs the sense of presence they have in real life.
