To the sea...

Just back from a trip out to San Diego. A four day pilgrimage back to the place I grew up, and a re-connection with the beautiful blue Pacific Ocean. I brought my painting supplies, and though hesitant at first, I was determined to try to paint a seascape or two. A bit different from painting those still, silent mountains of Colorado, I enjoyed all the immediacy and spontaneity of the crashing surf and sounds and smells of the wind and water. I stayed in La Jolla, just a five minute walk from Windansea beach - pristine coves and small sandy beaches with occasional seals and surfers...heaven!
