Sunset Promenade

Here is a painting I did for a special exhibit at Crystal Cove later this month. The theme of the show is "Past and Present". It's the third I've done for this special one day event, but because I sold the other two, I took this one down to be in the gallery right away.

I did this from a study I did there the very end of January. As I looked up the coast I could see a long line of people enjoying every last minute out on the beach before the sun set. Their figures disappeared into the sea-misty atmosphere and the fence in front of me just glowed in the rosy light. It was a beautiful afternoon to be there.
