I have been painting Seascapes for about ten years now and have become known for my waves.  I actually do paint people too!
I saw these cute little girls playing  and had to include them in this Crystal Cove painting  "Surf Frolic" 8x10 oil on linen

Painting  local color at Sunset Beach

After traveling and painting to Hawaii I am back to my local beach that I know from painting it for about nine years. Every beach has it's own local colors and they can change according to the weather, time of year and  sand or whatever is in to the water.   When painting the sea there are colors that are particularly good for the region. I would not try to use Hawaii colors here.

Painting on location: Crystal Cove

We had a little swell recently , so I   hiked to  my favorite   spot to do theis painting. It was a bit challenging as, the tide was dropping and the sun was getting higher. I liked the upward movenent of the waves and rocks contrasting to the downward clouds being broken up by sunlight.    Crystal Cove has a lot of interesting shaped rocks.  I thought theses ones looked like "Ship Wrecked Rocks" (title) 12"x 12" oil on linen panel.

California sunset on the pier painting

It is not everyday that we get a beautiful sunset in Seal Beach.  Being that Seal Beach is a south facing beach, it is only in the winter when it will actually back light a wave like this.  It is "The End Of The Day"

The original oil on canvas is 24"x32" unframed. It may be available on demand as 18"x24" and 11"x14"  through the artist.

Painting in Laguna Beach

As you probably know , Laguna is an art town and is the most painted beach.  Every nook and vista has been painted  and re-painted by   many artists.   Many  paint Heisler Park from the pathway above.  This particular painting is  one I did on the beach at the tide line as the sun began to break through the marine layer.

Painting the Ocean on Location

October is ths one of the most beautiful months of the year in Southern California. So this is when I really need to get out and paint, but somehow  I stuck doing household chores , errand etc. and I miss a day or two. 

I felt so bad for missing a glorious day on Tuesday that I decided that no matter what I would paint .  Knowing that the weather forecast was 35% rain, I took the chance and went down to Crystal Cove .   I hiked down the trail with all my gear, walked out to my favorite spot to find that it was high tide. But  since I have painted  Crystal Cove at high tide before, I figured it would eventually drop while I was painting.  The tide kept coming up  as I was painting near the bluff, when it got to the legs of my easel, I  hoisted the rig up on to a rock then climbed up there. The rocks out there  in this painting were starting to get covered up, then woosh... the tide came up on to my rock and was about to suck out my supplies .... and then it started to rain, so I had to bid farewell, but with much gratitude for what I was allowed to get for the day I packed up and went back to my studio to put the final touches on  this painting.
I could have just taken a photo and went home, but I think seascapes from photos have a frozen in action look to them.  And I forgot camera anyway.

"Storming at Crystal Cove"  9"x12" oil on canvas

I am trying to post here every Thursday, so come by again next week and in the meantime check out more paintings on this website.

 I  brought my  painter friend Fran yesterday down to Sunset Beach for a quick painting session as we watched the surf and surfers dropping into emerald green 
waves. These guys will paddle out religiously everyday even when the waves are "junk" just to enjoy the energy of the cold water.   "Surf Relgion" 9"x 12" oil on linen panel.
