Arch Rock – Little Corona Del Mar Beach

12×9 inches, oil on linen panel.

Crescent Bay Beach (Laguna Beach, CA)
Crescent Bay Beach oil on linen panel 8×6 in.
SOLD
Just beyond the hill from this scene are the main Northern Laguna beaches. If you’re familiar with the area you probably know that the main beach is not as quiet as the surrounding ones. Crescent Bay Point Park was calmer in comparison and ended up being the [...]

Photos – Greenwood Beach & Baker Beach
This was a nice little spot right on the edge of a 100-foot cliff. Mendocino County has some beautiful beaches at the base of incredibly sheer rock formations. This is just one of dozens of spots I could have chosen to paint but I was particularly interested in the light coming through the hole [...]

Baker Beach (San Francisco, CA)
Baker Beach 8×6 in.
SOLD
Exiting the Golden Gate Bridge on the South side I made a few turns and just happened upon this beach. When I started painting this scene it was mostly overcast but an hour into it the sun came out and the whole scene changed. So instead of making things up [...]

Greenwood State Beach (Elk, CA)
Greenwood State Beach 7×6 in.
SOLD
I started painting this one at about 4pm when the sun was moving toward the West but not yet setting. There was a great contrast happening on the beach at this time. The orange sunlight hit the rocks and created cool blues in the shadow areas. Also, I was amazed at [...]

Battery Point (Crescent City, CA)
Battery Point 8×5 in.
SOLD
First stop Crescent City, CA. I just love the soft grays at this time of year in Northern California. They make even the redwood trees on the mountains in this painting appear to be a flat purple shape.
