Painted at Black’s Beach on a chilly day. Stiff wind off the water. It’s a nude beach but I was glad to have my down jacket with me. I frequently do prefer to strip down while painting here. In part because why not and in part because wearing clothes in this area often results in a weird vibe. I’m a weather wimp, that’s what brought me to San Diego in the first place, so too bad.

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.

I love the way the sky reflects in wave-wet sand.
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.

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.)
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. 😉

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.
