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 better spot for me to paint today.
Getting close to the end of the trip. I’m realizing that I could take this trip twenty more times and never paint the same thing twice. There are so many beautiful spots along the California coast that I didn’t have the time to see let alone paint.

Detour – William Wray
I took a slight detour over the weekend. I popped on over to Monrovia, CA to attend an artist friend’s show, William Wray. I discovered his work about 2 years ago on his blog and I really enjoyed seeing all his work on display together. It was good to chat with him and see his paintings which depict mostly run down rural areas of Southern California; finding the beauty in things that often are considered un-beautiful or in his words “Dirty Beauty”. Great show Bill!
You can see more of his work on his blog.

Santa Barbara Palms (Santa Barbara, CA)
Santa Barbara Palms oil on linen panel 8×6 in.
SOLD
Saturday morning was a rainy day in Santa Barbara… I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get out and paint. By noon the rain went away and left a very blue sky with some straggling clouds. My intention was to set up on the beach facing the ocean but as I was standing there I turned around and saw this scene. The lines of the palm tree tops were echoed in the mountains, the clouds and the ground plane where the ice plant met the sand. I just couldn’t resist painting it. I am a sucker for this kind of composition, where the horizontal lines are the emphasis.
