Driving south to San Diego from Los Angeles, we stopped at an overlook to watch the sun go down over the ocean. Part of Camp Pendleton, a Marine Corps base with miles of preserved natural coastline.

This painting is from the California Art Club paint-out a couple of months ago. November or December, I think. It was a day with huge, hard to believe surf crashing and unbelievable light.

Blacks Beach Painting, San Diego

Blacks Beach Painting 2

Blacks Beach Painting, San Diego

Blacks Beach Painting, San Diego

This is kind of a companion to yesterday’s Blacks Beach painting, both scenes looking out to sea, and painted at the same time.

When I go to Blacks Beach, I try to do several paintings, since it’s at the bottom of these wonderful soaring cliffs and the stairs down to it are so killer. It’s a great place to paint, with every kind of light effect imaginable from the ethereal to the very stark.

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. 😉

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.

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.
