Sharing my series of being at the coast before, in and after coastal storms,  is invigorating, and I wanted to paint those moments.

In La Jolla, I enjoy this little slice of coast that's sitting about ten feet above the beach, this is where Beach Walkers was conceived.  There,  I have an overview, above the ocean and a vista along the coast. I love it; so many different views.  The area changes with the seasons, and day by day, and a constant place to be inspired.  The ocean and beaches are constantly in change, giving me changing views to paint year round. 

Three weeks ago, I visited this special spot and started painting this piece on location.  As you know, for me I prefer starting my work on location, so I'm a part of it all. 

After painting for a few hours, I brought Beach Walkers back into my studio and continued painting while everything was fresh.  I enjoy the walkers, people seem to walk all times of the year, even before a winter storm, as in this piece. This piece is about those resilient beach walkers, and on this day, all bundled up against the cold winter wind.
