Arch Rock – Little Corona Del Mar Beach

Justin Clayton — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 03:03:53 +0000

It was a beautiful day at Little Corona Del Mar Beach in Newport yesterday (I’m back in Southern California for a few weeks). It reminded me why I love painting the coast. There’s nothing like perfect weather, the beach and some paint brushes in hand.

California Coast North of Elk, CA

Thanks to everyone who commented and followed along with me on the California coast trip. I hadn’t done that before even though I grew up in California. It was fun and challenging. Honestly though, next time I’m thinking I’ll have to choose an area and just stay there to paint. I found myself choosing between several really great spots to paint because I was limited on time. Twenty days just isn’t enough time for all of the beautiful spots on the CA coast.

Half Moon Bay, CA

Carmel, CA

Carmel River Beach, CA

A few of my favorites to paint were Carmel, Elk and the Big Sur coastline. The number of great places to paint in Big Sur was almost overwhelming. Julia Pfeiffer beach seemed like such a beautiful place to paint but by the time we arrived there was only another 30 minutes of daylight.

I hope you enjoyed following along with me. I’ve been thinking I’d love to do a trip like this on the East coast. We’ll see…

Now back to painting…

Crescent Bay Beach (Laguna Beach, CA)

Crescent Bay Beach oil on linen panel 8×6 in.

Just beyond the hill from this scene are the main Northern Laguna beaches. If you’re familiar with the area you probably know that the main beach is not as quiet as the surrounding ones. Crescent Bay Point Park was calmer in comparison and ended up being the better spot for me to paint today.

Getting close to the end of the trip. I’m realizing that I could take this trip twenty more times and never paint the same thing twice. There are so many beautiful spots along the California coast that I didn’t have the time to see let alone paint.
