From the Train IX - 8x10

beach california ocean from the train lompoc oil painting

The last in my train series.  From our stop in Lompoc, the ocean looked fierce here! I never want to go swimming in that water.  All the signs posted about shark attacks didn't help either. The colors were amazing though, and that's why I just had to paint it.

A little vacation was exactly what I needed! Now I'm ready to get back to work.  Maybe I'll post some trip photos later, but for now here's a view of one of my new favorite seaside cliffs. I walked pretty far out in the water to get this shot, my dress was not so dry afterwards, next time I'll remember a swimsuit.
