“Cruising The Coast” Acrylic Study on 11′ X 14″ canvas
I could paint this picture blind folded, well actually maybe not but this stretch of the California Rte 101 is etched in my memory. I commuted to work on this byway for nine years. OK, in the painting I omitted the hotels, homes and restaurants that dot the shore, but I prefer to paint the coast in its pristine beginnings. All those hotels, and homes have created traffic on the 101 and that is one of the reasons I no longer live there. These days I prefer my small mountain town to crazy California traffic jams.
I do miss my ocean breezes and the smell of the salt air, walking the beach and fresh seafood, I could go on and on…. So our last road trip was back to the old stomping grounds around Pismo Beach. It was perfect timing corresponding with my new “Road Trip” series which I started this spring and will work on through the summer and into the fall. I hope to have a sweet slugh of painting about road tripping since it is one of the things I like to do best. Road tripping gives me great inspiration for painting my positive-energy art, and many of these small studies will be inspirations for larger paintings.
So heres to Road Tripping, enjoying life and expressing myself one painting at a time.
