California beaches are often are full of atmosphere during the summers.   The warmth of the inland area creates fog along the coast.

One of the gals from the Channel Islands boat trip lives in Tennessee.  She is friends with another gal who was visiting her son here in SoCal.  That friend gave me a call and off we went to paint.  It was fun!

I rarely see the beauty on days like this -- I prefer color and light.  However, the way the silver sunlight was coming through the fog and shimmering on the wet sand and water on the beach caught my imagination.  I loved the way the light led to the sandpipers which were happily hunting for tasty sand crabs.

I will be publishing my newsletter soon.  Sometimes I write about books or movies I've seen.   Sometimes I write about adventures like the one I'll be on next month rafting down the Colorado River on a painting adventure with Kevin Macpherson and some other hearty plein air painters.  I always include little bits about shows and paintings.  If you'd like to receive this free monthly email letter, please sign up here:
