Ok, so this is actually a painting I did a year or so ago at El Matador with the Painting Posse group that the illustrious Mr. Shady Safadi put together. I was the only one painting traditionally I think, and all the other guys had their nifty laptop boxes and ipads to paint with. It was a very windy afternoon and I remember it took almost an hour an a half to get out there because of some heavy traffic through Malibu beach. This was also the day I first shook hands with Joshua "the James" Shaw, and thoroughly mortified myself by telling him about my "experience as a traditional plein air artist". I'm sure he never knew because I pumped out this beauty at the same time - lol. ;) I've been hoarding this gem over my work desk to commemorate the day and somehow it has this mystical vibe that instantly relaxes me when looking at it - as the ocean often does. The painting is about 10x10" gouache on a piece of scrap book board, the corners a bit damaged from falling off its perch, but still beautiful.

Very lovely, and so much movement in the sand and waves where they meet.
