This blog documents my 20 day trip to the California coast starting on September 11, 2007. I am going to start from the northern tip of the California Coast and work my way down to the southern tip of the state… San Diego. I’m planning on painting everyday and will post what I’ve done here along with some of my thoughts and photos from the trip (and hopefully video). I hope to check out some of the great coastal areas like Patrick’s Point, Monterey, Big Sur, Pismo Beach, Laguna Beach, Sunset Beach, Santa Barbara… so I guess it’s appropriate that most of the paintings will be ocean and coastal scenes, beach paintings and the like…you know… all that California plein air stuff. So thats what the Beach Paintings blog is all about. Okay, here goes…

That looks like a great trip! I’d love to go.
I love your previous coastal paintings so I can’t wait to see what you produce on this trip! Looks like fun, I will be ready to bid!!
This is great Justin! I can’t wait to see them every day. Have a wonderful time!
Justin,
I’ll be hanging on every post. Can’t wait to see how
you do, and will be jealous of every day you spend out
there.
I’ll be spending the winter in Phoenix this year
and have thought about some trips to the Grand
Canyon to plein air, but nothing that ambitious.
Good luck…I know they will look great!

What a fantastic journey! If you can, drop by the beach at Carmel. Great view of Pebble Beach, fantastic trees, top art galleries and charming homes that started out as an artist colony. Enjoy!
Great to have you all on board. Thanks for your comments.
Mick, I’d love to pick you up on the drive over but South Dakota is a little out of the way. I hope you you’ll understand:)
