Nestled below the massive bluffs that belong to the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve, this beach offers a secluded feel that makes us feel detached from a busy city life.  As the name suggests, the very rare Torrey Pines grow in this area.  One day is definitely not enough for hiking on many trails on the reserve and playing down on the beach.

This painting was created with a very simple palette of mainly blues and browns.  And a good part of it is reflections on the wet sand of the sky and the bluffs.  Colors can be dramatically different when the coastal fog blankets the area, which happens quite often during the summer months.
