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 I just started over. Can't control Mother Nature.

This is part of my beach paintings series. For more info go to beachpaintings.net

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 just how bluish-violet the wet sand appeared as the waves receded back into the ocean away from the beach.

Trip to California Coast

Hi everyone.

On September 11, I'm going to start a painting trip that will last for about 20 days. I'll be heading to the northern tip of the California coast and will work my way down to the southern coast (Crescent City to San Diego). The paintings done on this trip will be part of my daily paintings. I will be posting these paintings as usual and have also started a new blog to document the trip. This blog will include, along with the daily paintings, some of my thoughts and photos from the trip (and hopefully video). You can follow along at www.beachpaintings.net
Feel free to leave a comment in the comment section on the new blog (at the end of every post). I'd love to hear from you.

Justin
