This week has been overcast. - Pleasant temperature-wise but not beautiful painting weather.
Last week, however, was clear and pretty. On Thursday things worked out and I was free to do as I wished so I hopped in my car and headed toward the beach. Happily the coastal fog which often shrouds the coast during May, June and July was not present. It was a wonderful day.
I decided to go to a new painting spot. I headed up on past Malibu and my more common painting spot at El Matador. I explored a few beaches and decided to stay at El Pescador which is south of Point Mugu and Leo Carrillo State Beach.
When I arrived it was just me and a few surfers. I walked around, enjoying the sounds and smells of the beach. I took photos looking south, looking out at the surfers and of the beach birds. Then I settled down near the cliff looking north. I just had a delightful time painting and enjoying the scene.
I almost expected to see Gidget step out of the little beach shack (which belongs to a much larger home up on the top of the cliff). I thought she'd enjoy showing all of the surfer boys how well she could handle the surfboard!!! (LOL)
As I packed up, I turned around and was surprised to see the once empty beach filling with families happily enjoying themselves at this less popular Southern California beach.
