Hills at Will Rogers State Beach



These three pieces are under paintings of scenes I will finish in studio back on the east coast.  Rather than work in my usual blue-gray tones, I drew out these scenes in warm grays heavy on the raw umber.  It seemed to work best when representing the sand and rock cliffs facing Will Rogers Beach from across Pacific Coast Highway (PCH).  Hopefully this beginning will help me to remember the feel of the cliffs while painting them from thousands of miles away.
