This painting done on location at Leo Carillo State Beach, one of my favorite spots. Standing on a windy cliff I had a view of this Lifeguard station and the path leading to it. At the very end of my session a lady in red came and sat looking out over the ocean. I love to add life to the painting in the form of small surprises and she was the perfect addition. I also related to the peace she must have felt looking out onto the vast expanse of ocean.
